Re: [school-discuss] Linux in Manchester (UK) schools

[Hilaire Fernandes <hilaire@ext.cri74.org>]

It's pretty cool news!
There is still too many schools using 
the expensive mail echange Microsoft solution, at least in my county 
where something like 4000 licenses for k12 students/teachers where pourchased recently.
When you know that free software can do so well in this departement,
it is really a waste of money.
