I know of 1 school in our district where the technicians rolled out redhat on the desktops and on the servers, the used star office and mozilla and from what i heard it worked pretty well, not well enough to do this again elsewhere though.
i go to a small high school in Canada with about 330 students from grade 7 to 12 we have about 200 pc's throughout the school (no macs) i know our regular technician pretty well, we had a lab split between old PII 400s with 128mb ram and 4gb hdd's and new compaqs with P4s @ 1.5GHz and 256mb of ram, anyway he let me wipe the PII's which were running windows 95b and install win2k and let me keep the local admin password which was sweet, i also get 2gb network drive space to everyone elses 20mb. the point being if u know the techs well enough and they believe your competant they may let u fool around with stuff like knoppix
My father bought a 1991 Dodge Dakota used in 1995 and it was identical to a 1995 Dakota i believe that body style was in use from 1988 to 1996 so thats 8 years in the 88 - 90 trucks the grill was different but it was interchangeable with the newer style. Anyway thats a pretty good run for a vehicle. Btw that truck has over 320,000 Kms (yes i'm Canadian) on it and still works great.
