There is still a linux server running on the staff network, no-one
uses it though. also their pop3 server is linux/unix. I often work
closely with them at the science park (as most of the IT equip and
soft is from the uni). Yeah they seem to love using windoze for most
things but at least they are not completly windows, which is a good
thing really.
 Also i've managed to get a few directors and a couple of people at IT
services  to take a proper look at it again  All currently have
morphix gnome discs curtesy of me.
 Hopefully it the future we may see a slow take over.
