    Isn't Qubes just another Linux distribution after all? Well, if you really want to call it a distribution, then we're more of a "Xen distribution", rather then a Linux one. But Qubes is much more than just Xen packaging -- it has its own VM management infrastructure, with support for template VMs, centralized VM updating, etc, and also its very unique GUI virtualization infrastructure. What is the main concept behind Qubes? To build security on the "Security by Isolation" principle. Key architecture features:Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)All user applications run in "AppVMs", lightweight VMs based on LinuxCentralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same templateQubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locallyQubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktopStorage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)

  • The Director of IT@School, K. Anvar Sadath said, "Building collaboration and sharing practices are essential factors for the well being of societies and proprietary software often deny that."
  • The Kerala IT Education Department believes that sharing is an important virtue. However, sharing a proprietary software would be a violation of the End User License Agreement (EULA).
  • Thinking about the massive cost involved in setting up the IT infrastructure based on Windows, it was better to have the OS and applications realigned for Linux and other free software.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Enabling Linux and FOSS based education in 2,738 high schools brought along its own set of challenges. In the first phase, over 40,000 teachers had to be trained for over 90 hours on Linux based systems.
  • Creating a single curriculum based on GNU/Linux was another issue to counter because there were many distributions of the OS
  • the Free Software Foundation of India suggested developing a custom distribution for IT@School and eventually created the distribution with funding from the Kerala State IT Mission
  • IT@School has managed to get concession on broadband rate for all schools
  • Resources which are available under GPL and Creative Commons can straight away be customised to their requirements. This builds innovation and networking without much financial burden
  • wants Kerala to become a FOSS destination. With 90% literacy rate
