While a few school districts have recently pushed to go all Apple, the Indiana State Department of Education wants to convert the entire state to Linux and open-source.

The Indiana State Department of Education has stated its wishes that the 300,000 high school students in the state each receive their own computer. Indiana-based Wintergreen Systems has been supplying hundreds of computers to students in pilot programs.

All of the computers will be installed with the Linspire OS and OfficeStar.
