I received this email from Chris Page of Becta - I've had a long conversation with him (poor guy...) and promised to try and get some others to talk to him as well - any takers? Cheers Chris -----Original Message----- From: Chris Page To: chris@centralmanclc.com Sent: 7/10/03 4:03 PM Subject: Becta paper on Open Source I am updating the Open Source paper on the Becta Web site and would be interested in any details of experience of Desktop Linux. Specifically: The technical details of any solutions you are evaluating / implementing. Experiences with device drivers for example, Printers, digital cameras (still and video), Interactive white boards, etc. The source of support and implementation skills (external contractor, in-house?) Any changes made to your standard procurement process which were necessary to allow an Open Source solution. Any information would be welcome.
