In response to this article about having to make 2 billion savings in
schools.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8267745.stm

the following package is currently pretty much standard in schools,  but
 runs only on windows, which of course requires a windows server to
store data etc

What is needed by a school to go fully OSS is a real alternative, to the
above,  PLUS related support and infrastructure to back it up,

I think there are solutions out there.
