Open Source is Good.

OPen source is good but as the report said compatability with all of the School software that's been around for a long time is'nt something that can be easily dealt with.Maybe Minister's need to start to look into way's of having the core applications recoded so that they can function on the Open source framework,but as a stopgap they could try using Wine an open source bridge that allows windows programs to run on a Linux operating system,See PCAnswers issue 167,not out yet by the way for an overview of the possibilities.

Hope this is of use.
