[Wolves] Online petition to use Linux

[stephen welch]

I'm with you on this one Kevanf1.  I am not even a Linux newbie yet as I 
cant even get my wireless driver to work with dual boot to Ubuntu but.....

I work in schools and why would I want my money spent on something when I 
can get roughly the same for less.  Less is more.  More for education, 
crime, roads, disabled facilities at schools, special needs education, ICT 
School Techs (oops) etc, etc.

I read somewhere that we have the lowest european level of students taking 
ICT at uni - that does not smell good for the future  Does that correlate 
with numbers in the UK for MS vs Linux when compared to our european 
neighbours??

I also agree re open standards though as well.

As with most petitions the Government will LISTEN!
