[Chris Twemlow <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's Great,

I introduced Ubuntu to Lyttelton,

I am interested in deployment, and happy to map out systems for getting the
hardware out there, the real issue is change management right.

I just loooove the power of opensource and I really do respect all you
source coders, without gnu, there would be no you in ubuntu.
But I will only paddle in the Rubicon so my interest will remain with
getting Ubuntu into the hands of as many Kiwis as will give it a go. This is
my fave platform for so many os apps.

Go Edubuntu
