Hmm.  I've been using Linux since Yggdrassil was the new kid on the 
block and I could
get an SLS subscription on 3.5" floppies.  And I definitely have things 
against Linux.  Take
off the rose tinted specs.

The biggest problem with schools IT is training - not just for the 
teachers but also for
the external support staff that have to help out.  We gave serious 
consideration to trying to
help improve our children's lower school facilities by reusing old 
systems, but in all
honesty it woulf have become an albatross for the school as soon as the 
kids moved
on and our interest in voluntary work to support that school died.
