Hello Peter,

Thanks for pointing out that blog to me. I'm actually having
school trouble myself - there isn't a junior school locally
who would like a free LTSP installation of one-PC-per-two-pupils
in every classroom. :-/
I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to do it with one
of the schools in South London that contacted me.

Oh well...

 - Richard

btw Did you mean to reply off-list? I hope you don't mind
me bringing it back to the list?

btw2 For anyone involved in education, please pass details
of the forthcoming Successful FOSS in Education event to
heads, governers and LEA officials on your contact list:
