Good article on the deployment of open source software in the university environment. I like the response to the question about the biggist problem with open source technology: "The main drawback is that open source software is usually free at the point of acquisition. While that might sound like it ought to be a benefit, it can be very confusing for institutions accustomed to paying an annual licence fee for software." Funny.
