Re: [seul-edu] something to review ... CyberSource: Linux vs. Windows Pricing C

Hi everyone

Actually, that file is quite interesting. It would be a nice idea to make
the same review with educational pricing, including Novell solutions
(which are very common in Quebec). 

Are educational prices the same around the world ? (meaning, the
difference between commercial and educationnal...)
