My home is also MS Office free but I use Windows and Linux (dual boot) on my home PC. My daughter,s PC is also the same (She is 10 yrs old). I purposly put Star Office 7 on her PC under linux and she started to use Linux and Star Office. She seems to prefer Star Office, and that is without any influence from me about the politics of it all. She says that it is much simpler to use Star Office, she likes the layout and many other simlpe features. She wishes that her primary school used Star Office too. My second though is on Higher education at universities. I heard that most universities use Open Source Office Packages. This is obviously a very important point to raise. Schools have a high percentage of their students moving on to Universities. I would like to use this as an argument at my school with the senior management. Recently we spent about £10,000 to buy MS Office licenses despite my fruitless fight to introduce Staroffice. I would like to prove that universities use Open source software but I need references. How can I get a list of Uni's that use Open Source etc.
