Three companies in Brazil -- BitWay Computadores,
EnabledPeople, and
IMTECH -- have begun deploying Linux-powered desktop PCs for
the
Brazilian federal government's "Computers for All"
program,
EnabledPeople announced today. The ready-to-use PCs, sourced
by Bitway,
include the "Linux XP Desktop" operating system,
developed by
EnabledPeople and supported by IMTECH.
Estimated monthly deployment is about 10,000 desktops, with
50,000
desktops already delivered, EnabledPeople, a Linux
development company,
said. The company did not indicate the total number of
desktops that are
to be deployed in the course of the project.
The Computers for All project is part of the Brazilian
federal
government's "Program of Digital Inclusion,"
initiated in 2003. The
project's objective is to provide low-cost computers to the
population
and to boost technological development, EnabledPeople said.
