Hi,
I am not a teacher, however, as a pc professional, I have volunteered my time to our small village school system (1 building, 200 children) in Ohio.
We simply cannot afford to be buying Windows licenses to keep up with technology, so I am interested in switching to Linux for 3 reasons.
- The ease of use is similar to Windows.
- I hear that Suse has some type of a deal for schools.
- Linux is capable of being used as a client and a server without buying server software.
Any help I can get from this group would be appreciated.

Hi: For starters, we'll have to follow up on this SuSE for U.S. High Schools: http://www.suse.com/us/press/press_releases/archive01/Free_SuSE_Linux.html I ran the address for filling out the form, but that is no longer available. There is an email address for contact: mailto:hd@suse.de for Holger Dyroff, and you might ask what the situation is. If you're uncomfortable doing this, I will. Just let me know. If you do, then will you report to the list what happened? The ease of installing SuSE really is close to Windoz at this point, I think. And, you'll see when you install, you're given a choice of installing as a server, workstation, custom, and upgrade. Lots of reasons to consider using SuSE, or any of the major distributions at this time.
