Namibia can serve their entire school system with Linux

Namibia was able to service their entire school system with linux on desktop. Why cannot a 1st world country with more money and resource not do it?

I think this smacks of poor planning and even worse implementation. The majority of the cost was down to bad management and from a previous posters information exclusion of people that could have made this a success.

Unfortunately this is bad reporting and worse headlines.
