    Its been suggested on here before but, they should stop buying windows machines for the standing computers. Putting linux on these would save a good bitta money on windows licences.

    Granted that they can't do this for all computers because of compatibility with programs used by specific depts. but for the most part there would be no issue with browsing the net for people who have never used linux.

    Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen... The troll has either left or has lost interest in this thread. The mods should just lock this as it's just the same points made over and over again. Also, Groinshot seems to be about to lash into personal insults, which might I add is not allowed on this forum.

    Meh, the windows OEM licences aren't that expensive, and I'd assume buying them in ulk that the college would get them cheaper again, and seeing as they don't buy them every year, it's not THAT much money really...
    And Vladglenin, would you ever shut up ya complete wank3r
