I did a google search for "mallard linux site:.nz"
and found the a transcript of Q&A time at the Beehive.
from http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA0312/S00130.htm
"1. DAVID BENSON-POPE (Labour-Dunedin South) to the Minister of
Education: What steps have been taken to ensure that schools have ready
access to reliable anti-virus software?
Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Minister of Education): Free anti-virus software for
State and State-integrated schools will be available from the beginning of
next year. A large number of schools currently do not have quality
anti-virus software, leaving them exposed to virus attacks. Through the
provision of a common, high-quality anti-virus software package, at no cost
to the schools, the Government is protecting the investment schools are
making.
David Benson-Pope: How does this initiative fit within the Government's
wider strategy for promoting the use of information and communication
technology in schools?
Hon TREVOR MALLARD: As Maurice Williamson often tells me, ensuring our
children develop good information and communication technology skills is as
essential part of equipping them for life and work in the 21st century. I am
looking forward to Maurice Williamson getting back on that front bench.
Nandor Tanczos: Is the Minister aware that most viruses are designed to
attack the hegemonic proprietary software platform Microsoft, while
non-proprietary operating platforms, such as SuSE Linux, now meet
international security certification, and how will he protect the ability of
schools to choose open-source alternatives?
Hon TREVOR MALLARD: Quite a few schools use open-source software; that is
their right, and if they want to do that, that is fine. I am not aware of
the technical details, but my understanding is that a lot of the software
will support Linux as well as Microsoft."
