[Fedora-join] Fedora for Educations

[Cory Hilliard]

This would be great, my school is split between Ubuntu and Fedora (when 
required to teach Linux).  Some teachers push Ubuntu because it has more 
market share on the desktop, while others push Fedora because they teach 
Red Hat Servers and know that Ubuntu isn't Red Hat.

I think if more was done to make Fedora for Schools it could help a lot.

I have been in talks with my school to push more open source and am 
currently trying to get the Processor Arch teacher to use open source 
equipment like the Arduino.  I'm converting all the material we cover on 
the dragon boards over to Arduino in hopes that future students can 
benefit from it.  I only mention that because I had to use windows in 
that class because the software was only windows based, and I would like 
to be able to use Fedora in all my classes.

I hope this helps give an idea of what's going on in other schools for 
anyone that is building such a spin.
