Your point about budgets makes this more interesting, and I think it seriously impacts the 'free-beer' Linux in colleges approach that I was pushing. What are your suggestions.
Basically, if they have budgets that have to be used (we do too), then the best thing is to reclassify that budget.
Rather than saying budget for software, say budget for IT and IT support.
That way, they can allocate it to software, hardware, tech support and even books on the subject.
