RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Q1 - Q2Hi Chris, Everyone was talking education (it's a school list - I know!) So I thought I'd put everyone straight. If I purchase anything for Sidcot I always try to get an educational discount, you can be sure of that :-) I also have several customers who are entirely disconnected with education and they along with friends and family all get the "Try LINUX" patter from me :-) It's all very well multi nationals sniffing around LINUX, but the small companies will need to take the plunge for things to really move, they employ a huge percentage of the population. I have to say that I >was< one of those who suggested that schools ought to be using what they have at home and the work-place i.e. MS. - If the majarity had been Word Perfect then that would have been my choice; before I'm flamed yet again :-) - However even we ludites can change :-) But this view is still very widely held, even when you point out that by the time Johnny goes to work, the current packages will probably not be in use anyway.

Let me know if not, but we should be able to get a discount for most organisations that are primarily educational.

So as not to miss-lead, this is for a company not a school - they'll just have to pay more! :-) Kind regards Adrian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-help@suse.com This message may contain information and/or data that is confidential and legally privileged.
