Erwin's StarOffice Tango

OpenOffice.org on 35,000 computers?!
I just found the following information:
"mEDUXa is a Free Software GNU/Linux distribution developed for educational purposes that is part of the MEDUSA project. It will be deployed in 35,000 computers distributed in 1100 schools, which represents 325,000 possible users (25,000 teachers and 300,000 students).the Canary Islands state schools. Teachers and students will be able to use it through a dual boot, accessing it by a boot loader."

I wonder if mEDUXa includes OpenOffice.org. Does anybody know?

According to the icons on this screenshot mEDUXa includes OpenOffice.org.

Hi all, I'm one of the developers of mEDUXa.
The short answer is "Yes, mEDUXa uses OpenOffice.org".
There are 5 user profiles for mEDUXa users: childs, teens, teachers, advanced (in informatics sense) teachers and administrator teachers. The last four are quite common KDE Desktops with normal OpenOffice.org capabilities, while the first one is a heavily modified and locked KDE desktop from which pupils can access OpenOffice.org Writer by clicking on "oficina" icon.
