Hi family,

Been off list for a while, please excuse my absence.

This is a touchy subject for regulators.  I know that in '97 M$ granted
the Cocconino
County Library (which is shared by CCC and NAU) about $10,000. I'm sure
this is the
tip of the iceburg and M$ likes to portray itself as a friend to people
less computer
enabled such as the Navajo Nation for instance.

I would be interested in SuSE because they broke out with the Free to
Public Schools
Programs before RH and they now have heavy backing from IBM, just a
thought.

Cheers,

Armand
