JeffCo has been into Linux for a long time. I used to teach several BHI 
classes up there for Java and Linux about 3 years ago. I was impressed with 
the manager at that time who offered both Windows and Linux to everybody. 
Those who picked Windows would have have to buy all new software and would 
not get new hardware. Those who picked Linux could get WP AND new hardware. I 
am not sure where they are at now, But it would be nice to see them move to 
OpenOffice across all their platforms, instead.
I still have one of their "Linux Rules" mugs.
Too bad that most of the government here in CO is now massively indentured 
into MS's back pocket.
