Ah, I see.  I misunderstood.  I was thinking of something that would, of 
course, run under SUSE (and no reason why it shouldn't be packaged 
therewith), but was primarily aimed at everyone in need of escaping from 
all proprietory strangleholds.

With all due respect - and no hint of criticism of SUSE - but something 
SUSE-specific (and the devil take the rest) seems to me little better 
than something M$-specific (and ditto).  IMHO what the education sector 
needs is an OSS product that is platform independent - so I'm talking 
about my aspirations, not yours.

Good luck anyway; SUSE-specific sounds a lot closer to my aspirations 
than any of the other alternatives I've heard about.

Good networking,

Roger
