class=950451218-27072007> I started to download the ISOs a couple of
weeks ago but, the traffic at that moment was kind of high here at Meigs.
So I thought that I'd just ask them to send me all 3 cds. They arrived today
(about 10 working days). I am looking forward to setting up a couple of pcs and
a server like Jim did. Will be an interesting experiment, I think.

class=950451218-27072007> There has been huge advances in Linux (and
Open source software in general) in the last few years. So much so,
that currently I am using almost as much OSS as I am proprietary
software. With a little additional work (mostly because of learning curve, not
because it's hard to configure...just a different process) I feel that we can
offer more to our patrons at a reduced cost. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
