RE: Red Hat Gives Away Software to Schools

[Richard <nospam [at] zetnet.co.uk>]

Hello

This just came in from BBC News Online. Thought you might like to
read it ? The SuSE free software for schools offer has now finished.
I've asked Red Hat about their offer but I'm getting the usual
couldn't care less sort of response.

If you want to write to Gary Eason-ONLINE <gary.eason [at] bbc.co.uk> to
tell him that we were running the SuSE offer then please do ?

Thanks

Dear Richard
Hmm: Times change, I suspect!

But, just checking, that is why we are advertising
the fact that SuSE are giving away software to schools on our web
site you say, but I can't find any reference to this offer on your
site.
