hi all
i've been asked by a journolists to come up with some atypical licensing costs for schools, to look at just the upfront savings of going open source.
Windows and Office (education licence) is approximatly £150. So long as you can still buy Win9X and Office 2000.
i've already got figures based around 3-year managed services (cheapest NGfL 950 per seat/per annum), Red Hat / LTSP new kit £500 per seat / per annum), but like to break them down.
That £500 looks more like an outright price for everything. Rather than an annual price. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
