I think Gentoo would be good candidate for public sector, because it could be tailored so that the system contains only the necessary parts, thus giving longer life time to the systems. The only down side is that there is not enough qualified peoples in the providing companies, who can take it in use in the public sector deliveries. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
