Hi Im Dave Marshall and I have purchased a copy of LInux primarily to familarise myself with it as the school I am at is not one for change, in fact they dont even want to keep up with the current times. Unfortunatley I do not have any say it what occurs or takes place, Im working on that at the moment. One success I have managed to get them to agree to reduce the numbers of staff with full admin rights down to 3 from what was 10. Phew!! Hope to trial Linux in due course. DM
