I had an experience with the installation of Edubuntu in the PCs of schools of rural areas in Colombia.

Edubuntu has great advantages for the educative sector and we selected it because It's a "distro" readily accessible and easy use. 

Additionally, we made two days of qualification for teachers who single worked in MS Windows, we offered the majorities of the operating system, a sample of applications (they liked  gcompris a lot :) and the handling of some administrative tasks of graphical way.  

The professors did not show any resistance, they enjoyed much and they were surprised of the great number of applications available. 

I tell you about this experience because I believe that it is important not only to have hardware and software infrastructure, It is necessary also to have the indispensable tools to use the technology suitably, and this is possible if we made processes of qualification and support.
