Re: [OS:N:] OSN - what are the best desktop systems foreducational use?

[Chris Spencer <cspencer cait org>]

So what are your plans when RH9 support ends?  

Migrate to Fedora and hope that there is something to Fedora Legacy?
(BTW, I like fedora.  It seems quite stable to me)

Migrate to another free OS such as Debian or a BSD variant.  (Both have
compelling cases to be migrated to)

or purchase RHEL-WS/RHWS?  ($179/computer/year is a non-trivial cost)
