Sadly you are correct on all accounts, support for schools is now outsourced
to SCOMIS. Although I like spending my own time trying to "persuade the
masses" to convert to linux, it would be nice if it was an official roll as
it would get more value from my Unix/Linux "Skills", and maybe good
publicity for the Council. I can to a certain extent understand the Councils
position as they dont need any egg of their face if it all goes pear shaped.

However I am optimistic that if we do get something working for schools in
Torbay, there will be more demand and if there is more demand from the
schools for linux support the council will have to re-evaluate its position.
I dont tend to force things, just wait patiently for the inevitable and keep
developing my skill base in the mean time.

Tom.
