While it would be good for them to have
OpenOffice.org, they can
open ODF docs from Microsoft Office by installing Sun's plug-in:

That sounds pretty good, most schools would be more willing to install sun
stuff over OSS although ideally we'd want cross compatibility rather than
having to install some 'bridging' software.
That applies to all upgrades of course - they will find more than
a few differences were they to change to Office 2007
Aaaarrgghh Don't. I thought I would be a smart arse and install 2007 at work
and at home. Its a pile of dog doo doo. everything is not where you'd expect
it, it takes 5 or 10 mins to find the feature you're after, oh and if you're
sending any docs as attachments make sure you've saved them in 2003 format.
You would have thought that Mr Gates would have twigged by now that he
should at least make 'Read-ability' backwards compatible.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System
packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the
stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the
command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
