hit a bit of a road block with our roll out of suse for education.

We need to have a strong and valid argument from some where else to show that other are actually using it.

I would like close to complete studies, with as many "big names" so it can't be just dismissed.

Hi,

I'm just completing a 1000 word case study on the Skegness Grammar school FOSS roll out. It should be on the schoolforge.org.uk site within a couple of days. There are some other case studies there. I will do a pretty pdf of it.

Pretty PDFs good :)

Have you thrown the Becta research at your bosses? http://publications.becta.org.uk/display.cfm?resID=25908

No will dig that out

What is the organisation? School, college or what?

FE college

...

Also does any one know what can cause broken packet to cause a network to collapse?

Can you give more details if this is still a problem?

No, that's all networking has told us

I have a recollection of facing this problem before...

rgds,

Richard
