When I moved to tempe (scotsdale and curry) I thought hell yes now I can get a decent DSL connection instead I am stuck with a cox connection that blocks ports and goes down once a week. I used to live in glendale the outskirts of the Phoenix Metro area we got dsl there 2 years ago and its on acrage. Yet there is only one option in a condo in the middle of Metro Phoneinx. Something is defently wrong with the distribution of decent quality lines in this town.
I am a high school student and I wrote a grant for hardware for three workstations. I was at first going to use Linux but the district refuses to approve the software for use. They state that it is "insecure"... first time I have heard Linux called that. Now I am stuck trying to get licenses for windows and what not to make the hardware useful all which must comply with an approved list of software the newest piece of software approved being windows 98. The list contains 30 titles highlights being reader rabbit and Microsoft word 3. Guess all I can do is type in word even the Macs at school can do a half way decent job at that. By the way if I went with Mac I would not have to get software approved. Does anyone have a logical explanation as why people resist Linux so much?

And use "optimized" drivers to increase your performance.
