Hola!
De acuerdo con Dave que es difícil.
Sin embargo, a través de la experiencia de Argentina en Conectar Igualdad,
donde se daba la posibilidad de que cada centro instalara su sistema. Si
bien en un principio la mayoría optaba por Windows se realizó un movimiento
importante para la instalación de una versión propia de Linux, el Huayra,
que fue ganando terreno. Esto ocurrió con esfuerzo del Estado, aunque sin
convertirse en una obligación.

Saludos
