I'm workingon a proposal for our Headteacher to see what the benefits of moving to Open Source software would be. I'm going to be testing Ubuntu server in the next week. The plan is in one year my school will be completely Microsoft/RM free. Our support cost would drop about £25k a year, this is cash we don't have.

it will require a good server though
