Site now closed

Thank you for your interest in a page formerly hosted on this site.
The aim of the Web site which has now closed was to provide an up-to-date account of
running a Linux-based network that was under active development in a large school.

In the three years of its deployment at the institution concerned, Linux proved its
viability as a server and network infrastructure platform and won the informed support
of the staff directly concerned with IT. Sadly, however, Senior Management aspire to-
wards a "State of the Art", i.e. wholly-Microsoft solution and view the success of
Linux in meeting the school's needs as something rather shameful. As a result, this
site could no longer remain what it set out to be, a source of insight and experience
into the daily use of Open Source software in a working school environment. It seemed
better to close it rather than have it preserved as an increasingly out-of-date (and
hence also increasingly misleading) monument to the victory of Public Relations over
technological merit.
