"Using free software in education is not just about saving money. It's also 
about preserving choice, not locking a student's experience into a certain 
way of doing something.

"With Linux, there's no vendor lock-in. Free software is more likely to be 
open-standards compliant, and it's going to be more open to different 
languages, localities and curricula.

"It also removes what can sometimes be a barrier to learning; using the same 
software on your own machine at home. And because there's usually more than 
one piece of open source software for a job, free software makes it easier 
to broaden your experience and look at a variety of methods for completing 
that job."
