[ubuntu-us-in] higher education

My office used to be a customer of nFrame, formerly One Call, (they were
our ISP at work), but we switched about a year and a half ago to a local
company. No offense to nFrame, they did a good job for us, but our
current ISP is only three miles away (which is handy when we have
problems), and it is cheaper than nFrame. They also provide our phone
service, so we get an added discount that way.

I work for the Daily Reporter in Greenfield. The DR is a six-day-a-week
newspaper just outside of Indy (circulation about 12,000). I used to be
in the editorial department (i.e., a reporter), but they made me in
charge of the computer systems a few years ago (mainly due to the fact
that I knew more about computers than anyone else in the building...
which isn't saying much). I took a couple of programming classes in
college (learning Pascal... most of which I have forgotten), but
otherwise, I am pretty much self trained (usually on an as-needed
basis), so I have huge gaps in my knowledge. Unfortunately, we are
almost entirely Windows based at the DR with a few Mac workstations
mixed in. I am trying to mix in some free software, but so far I haven't
had much luck. My boss is one of those people who believe that if
Microsoft wasn't the best software company in the world, then they
wouldn't be the biggest and most widely used.
