Well, I admin a school network with 600+ workstations, and several servers. All running redhat, we simply can't afford that sort of money. We will be looking at SuSe but not debian I think.
Red Hat has repeatedly said that they do have the needs of special communities, such as the academic community, in mind. Please write to Tom "Spot" Callaway at Red Hat; he's a good guy, and he will make sure that you can talk to somone who will intelligently consider how best to serve you. Make no mistake, they _DO_ want to serve you.
By stepping forward and talking with them, you'll not only help yourself (I am confident that you can reach a win-win arrangement) but also help Red Hat define standard policies for _all_ schools and academic communities such that everything gets easier. Tom's email address is <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> so you can write to him.
