I am a new member of the list so a few words. I am Network Manager for a girls school in Brighton, UK. Currently we run an NT based system but I played a bit with Linux in the past and am hoping to replace some of the NT system (especially the ones that cost!) with Linux. We have invested in Windows-based mail, web and proxy software so I shall probably keep those, but will be looking at authentication, file and print services and routing as possible uses. As in so many schools, we have plenty of ancient gear around, so I will probably try set up some desktop machines as well. Also interested in X terminal. Plenty to do in my spare time!
