It may be a bit long, but IMHO, it would be better if we can put in concrete figures, say, about how much a lean PC would cost with the most basic (proprietary) software installed, as opposed to having OS alternatives. Also, maybe we can CC it to the departments concerned (ASTI, NCC, ITECC, etc), and get their support as well. And, may I suggest posting this in websites (Open Minds, PLUG)?
