Hmm. Everyone who access the Internet is probably using open source somewhere along the way, albeit indirectly. Pages are served by Apache, mail probably arrives over sendmail, or exim, or qmail, dial-up servers are often Linux based. I'd be surprised if there were many schools who were not using open source in some way. They just do not realise it because it works so well - perhaps the open source world is not marketing itself well enough. IMVHO the information source should be updated to state that 27000 of 27000 secondary schools are using open source in some way :) 100%, in my book, is quite a lot ;) Clive.

This is 1.85% which, in my book, this means not very much.
