"You have gone around Serbia and wired schools to the Internet, 
installed Linux and taught teachers and students how to use it. Can 
you tell us a little more about that entire project?

We have visited so far tens of schools and presented to them what free 
software may do and how it can be used in schools. Specialized 
distributions such as Explora, Edubuntu, VigyaanCD, Quantian, CAE 
Linux, GNU/Musix, DyneBolic etc. may be very important educational 
tool in schools. It is not enough to teach, localize and install free 
software. In addition, it is very important to write proper 
documentation. We are finishing, these days, a manual for teachers of 
computer science for music schools so they can use free software and 
learn about sound, music, databases, web applications, openoffice, 
image editing, burning CDs, streaming audio. Detailed documentation 
will help teachers and the students too to use it properly and get 
really full control over their computers and operating systems. "

Bender: "¿De veras quieres tener un robot como amigo?"
Fry: "Sí, desde que cumplí 6 años"
Bender: "Bueno... ¡de acuerdo! Pero... no quisiera que pensaran que 
somos robotsexuales. Si preguntan, tú eres mi técnico de 
reparaciones."
