For those interested in the use of Linux in more traditional environments:
"Indianapolis High School Band Makes History by Performing First Paperless
Concert
"Instead of reading their music from printed sheets during their performance,
the band members used a Linux-based notepad device from Freehand Systems called
the MusicPad Pro Plus. This was the first time in history that a high school
band gave a concert using digital music notation in place of sheet music."
