-  * '''Free software''' This is ethically important for schools. School should not be an arena where piracy is accepted or encouraged, but a place that promotes the making and sharing of knowledge. Skolelinux respects this need. has user-friendly licences that give you ''rights'' – not ''responsibilities''!
-  * '''Economical savings''' Teleplan, an independent agency, has [[attachment:teleplan_03112003.pdf;|estimated]] (report available in Norwegian only) savings up to 60% by using Skolelinux with thin clients, compared to a traditional Windows solution. These savings are mainly due to ''eased maintenance'', and ''not'' because Skolelinux has zero cost
-  * '''Higly supported''' Skolelinux is part of Debian, and as such, is supported by a large and vibrant community. This means lots of momentum, development, and a guarantee that Skolelinux will be around in years to come.
-  * '''Ecological''' By enabling reuse of old equipment, Skolelinux helps save the environment. Instead of trashing old hardware, it can be used as thin clients.
-  * ''' Stability and reliability''' Skolelinux is very stable and reliable. The students will experience predictability and a system that ''works''. Additionally, Skolelinux is less vulnerable to worms and viruses.
-  * '''Solves real needs''' Skolelinux is made by schools for schools. Thus, Skolelinux is tailored to school needs.
-  * '''Provides control ''' Skolelinux makes the users independent of supplier, and can decide themselves when to upgrade both hardware and software. 
+  * '''It is Free software:''' not only in price but also the way schools are allowed to use it. This is ethically important to an educational environment as it should avoid being an arena where piracy is accepted or encouraged but a place that promotes the making and sharing of knowledge. This project provides user-friendly licences that gives ''rights'' not ''responsibilities''.
+  * '''Provides control:''' users can decide themselves when to upgrade both hardware and software and so, they are able to remain independent from suppliers' influence.
+  * '''Economical savings:''' Teleplan, an independent agency created a[[attachment:teleplan_03112003.pdf;|report (only norwegian)]] concluding that it can help saving up to 60% thanks to its ''eased maintenance'' when compared to a traditional workstation infrastructure. Note that saving money does not mean zero cost.
+  * ''' Rock solid:''' it is a stable and reliable system that just works. Additionally, it is less vulnerable to worms and viruses.
+  * '''Solves real needs:''' it is made by schools and for schools and so, it becomes inherently designed to fit real scenarios.
+  * '''Highly supported:''' as it is part of Debian, it benefits from a large and vibrant community that means lots of momentum, development and guarantees that it will stand strong and around us for a very long time.
+  * '''Ecological:''' it helps lowering ecological footprint as terminal servers enable reusing of old hardware to become thin clients and have also proved to be more power efficient than a traditional independent workstation infrastructure.
