(try that on the artistic department) - It offers most tools students need (OOo, some cientific tools, etc) I think your best shot are documentation & support available, virtualization, clustering, revisor and repo tools. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Bush : All votes are equal but some votes are more equal than others. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> Did he really say this???
