It is okay Henry, Open Source (and free!) software has this one covered. I will provide you with "Premium GNU/Linux", whilst backwardly compatible with ordinary Debian GNU/Linux, this version is supplied and installed on site by a well dressed consultant who arrives in a smart sports car, and takes you out to a stylish Café for a Latte. This will make you look cool to your friends, colleagues, and relatives. Installation starts from a mere £1000 GBP plus expenses (which may include car and suit hire, dental and hair styling expenses, if you have to ask for a limit on the expense budget you can't afford Premium GNU/Linux). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
