There was a feature on "Working Lunch" on the BBC about "how an
operating system called LINUX can be used instead of Microsoft" and how
many primary schools can cut their IT bills by 50% and secondary schools
by 25-30%.  Not sure if they'd made all the words small so the children
could understand or for the benefits of [flamesuit=on] teachers and
governors [flamesuit=off].  It was good to see coverage though!
