The government of Valencia, one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities, is continuing to support the use of open source in schools. LliureX, a collection of open source software solutions tailored for use in schools and based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution, is implemented on more than 120,000 workstations, reports the region’s finance ministry.
“LiureX shows how Valencia’s commitment to free software improves people’s lives”, said the then-Director General for ICT, Pedro Pernías. “Thanks to this project we bridge the digital divide and provide users with quality software for free.” In addition, the DG praised the way LliureX extends the lifespan of school computer equipment. Up-to-date versions of the distribution perform well on PCs that would not be powerful enough for the latest proprietary alternatives.
