Hi!

This is Paul Ellison, ICT Manager for Edgehill College in Bideford.

We are a secondary school with a network of systems running various
incarnations of Windows (ugh!) on an NT4 server. We (I)hope that we will be
able to completely go over to Linux by the end of the next academic year.
In the mean-time, one of my own systems is quietly running Linux in the
corner - currently RedHat 6.0, but as soon as the new hard-drive goes in,
so will SuSE 6.3.

I am a relative new-comer to Linux, and my impressions so far have ranged
from "hmm, interesting" to "Whoopee!!" - all I have to do now is spend a
year getting to be competent with it, planning a network roll-out (without
losing anyone's files) and convincing the Head that it will be a "good
thing".

Anyway, a resounding thank you to Roger and SuSE for their offer - it has
gone a long way to making it easier to sell Linux over Windows to my Head
of Department :)

Regards,

Paul Ellison
