    What about CentOS?
    From what I've heard it's almost identical to RHEL.

    I have to say I was completely unaware of Kingston Communications even existing- but after some poking around; ( http://www.hullnet.co.uk/ ) there does seem to be some chance of getting a better service. (Yes, I know they are not currently operational- but the link would most probably be of some interest to anyone involved.)

    Good point,
    but just think how the scientists would feel when the politicians do something stupid with it.

    An expert for dealing with nuclear waste will have a science degree because neclear waste is very much a science issue. Most of these communities ideas will be exactly what you called my last post: 'a pub argument' which I do not feel safe in control of nuclear waste. I say that if you want to know whats best for dealing with it, then prehaps they should ask scientists. When senior scientists are resigning because they are being ignored: now is not the time to ask the WI (or any similar organisation, the WI was only one of the groups involved). I would say it is time for politicians to stop medeling in science, it is complicated and needs to be extensively studied before being able to decide on something as important as radioactive material.

    (which sentence didn't make sense?)

    Immigragtion has absolutely nothing to do with nuclear physics.
    That does not mean it should be handled differently, it should be handeled by people who are experts in there fields.
    The whole argument of human choice is null and void as part of human nature is to chose the incabable to lead as they make better scapegoats. Also the people don't belive what they honestly belive they belive the media, a consortium of experts would run a country far better than a media organisation, or any other for-profit company.

    The media controlls what YOU think, you indirectly control the government who are more directly controlled by corporations.

    Bah,
    It is wholly inapropriate for the general public to be asked without proper represenation, and top scientists are 'top' for a reason and really should be listened to; unlike politicians.

    Seriously what do you want to tell those children that are actually in private education?

    Don't kid yourself, that money is pre-destined for those children in one way or another, oh and how will you close these schools? Seriously you must be joking to say that closing down private is the way to fix public education.

    I'll leave it up to you to go and tell hundreds of thousands of children they will loose their teachers and be placed into the already full education system you have.

    Write a letter about that to someone who not only give a damn, but also that has the power. At my school I'm almost sure that the said teacher would not hang around long.

    The best part about private education in the UK is that it awards scholarships to very bright students (which you son appears to be)which will almost carry him through shcool if needed.
