Saw that whilst reading my daily barrage of email. It always seemed to 
me that this country-wide re-evaluation of Linux was to come at some 
point, I guess it's best that it happens when there is an economic issue 
and lest Linux be good for the job, it's also cheaper. I hope this 
economic pit will actually be a positive event for Linux and open source 
in general, because it really has the potential to put ( OS: Free 
Edition ) into a lot more hands than it would have normally, even if it 
is just for evaluation.
