[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux for the State of Texas?

[Steve Baker]

After our discussion of whether Texas should mandate use of
OpenSource or not, I thought this was a timely article:

(Basically, Microsoft think the state's prison service owes
them $1.5M in licensing fees for what seems to me like nothing
more than poor record keeping.)

Since they don't have any budget to pay this bill, now might
be a good time to point to Linux and say: "FREE"  (Although
one could argue that Freedom isn't generally top of the
Prison service's business practices!  :-)
