Hey, now I thin this one deserves a good position. >I wonder anyway; all these South-American countries that are cronically >'broke' would be 10000 times better served (pun intended) buy moving >large parts of their IT-infrastructure to FreeBSD/Linux. Technicaly, yes. > How can your >University afford all these NT/Win95 licenses, how can it afford the >24-months HW-upgrades ? Pretty simple. Mr. Gates offers NT-based stuff for free, sources included; All SW developed using those sources become MS's property. and about the HW upgrade, we simply don't upgrade. We run slow machines. Now, though you may say that the Latin-American countries are broken, there is always a way to buy new computer, specially when you want to build a new mentality, product or tendency. I mean that if the industry need some more ppl to work with NT, they just give NT and the needed HW for free to Universities. Pretty easy, isn't it ?
