it is a good move pero it is not enough. somebody should be willing to devote time to support that particular school during its 'migration'. kailangang-kailangan talaga yung support infrastructure dahil mas malaki ang posibilidad na babalik lang sila sa windows if they cant find somebody to help them if something goes wrong or if they cannot find the solution to a relatively simple problem (their perspective lalo na if they were able to do it on their previous OS). if im not mistaken marvin (or was it paolo?) said something about an 'adopt-a-school' program pero it will take volunteers, and dedicated/passionate ones at that. quoting a cliche "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
