Yes, quite abit like trying to buy the correct Vista version and the 
appropriate licenses for MS Server 2003 with File/Terminal Client/Device 
access licenses then. And the Clearing house delay of upto 2 weeks can 
be ludicrous.


Ive not had a chance to write and speak to Peter Scargill I would point 
out this is not the first time he has reviewed open source software.

Anyway I would like to pass you this comment from the client

"

I am not at all technically minded and I have been
using Ubuntu now for 2 weeks and I am finding it
incredibly easy and user friendly. Initially I was
nervous about making the change and because it took me
a while to master Windows and Outlook Express I didn't
want the hassle of learning something new.

Nik gave me a quick and simple lesson on how to use it
and left me to experiment (safe in the knowledge that
I could call him if I needed to). I was up and running
confidently and quickly and have had no problems at
all. it is fantastic.
