Admirable, I hope all other LGUs will follow your example.  Harvey, can i
ask a few things about OOo Spreadsheet?!  Is there an equivalent for the
Window --> Autoarrange feature present in Excel?

Surigao City's website and online portals are also hosted on Ubuntu Dapper

And oh, our Community eCenter uses all Linux. :)
