Thank you for this info Russel. I'm just starting in a Canadian (French speaking) public school. I already had a promess to set up 2 Linux machines in the classroom. We are also testing the stability of the last OpenOffice version for the win32 platform (that we use presently). I'm confident that working closely we could "ring a bell" somewhere in the government. Tell me about your next steps please. And I'd be willing to help according to my time availability. Regards, Marc Lijour
