Case study: School IT Manager Turns to Penguin Power

[ Thanks to Inkslinger for this link. ]

"Ian Ralph, an IT manager at a private school in Sydney, called Sceggs, became a fan of open source technologies and Linux twelve years ago when he built the school's first web server using Linux.

""We used an old server (that had reliability issues) and didn't really know what we were doing, but we learned a lot teaching ourselves and the website was a bit of a novelty in those days so we could afford to learn as we went," he said.

""Once people started to realise that a website was an essential thing to have we sought and found good support for our Linux installations." "Ralph is still using the same support over ten years later"
