I think nothing more need be said.

NZ school goes open source: reduces servers required from 4 racks of 48 servers to 4

Quite amusing. They were able to get this open source school up and running in four weeks! There's some dispute in the comments about whether or not the NZ schools are required to run Windows, still, this sounds like a school that I would have loved to attend.

Just because the racks will hold 48 servers doesn't mean a Microsoft-powered school would require 192 servers, so that comparison is kind of farcical. Still, it will mean a tremendous reduction in power, heat, and noise.
