If it wasn't the UK Government (think NHS and Air Traffic Control Systems) I would be pleased... It's probably the last 'organisation' in the world that the OSS community needs on board. They could turn free software into a billion dollar loss :( Would love to see them introduce it in to all places of education though. (At least the kids would know how to use/manage it) Regards Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
