Absolutely. It sounds as if they are not hostile to considering Linux. Unless they are being less than honest which is always possible. I think what needs to happen is they are presented Linux options whenever it makes sense and eventually they will see the need to look at it more closely. I don't know how the court system is going, but I have always felt they were planning on dumping a ton on an NT WAN when Linux could be used for some components at a substantial savings in TOC. That being said, while governments could benefit greatly from open source, it appears they are adopting less quickly than industry. Ed Lawson
