Old news to to the ILUG cognoscenti Des - I mentioned it in the ILUG IRC
channel weeks ago :-) What I'd love to know, but my sources are unfortunately
silent about, is what AIB paid per seat. I do know that they got a bunch of
SUN PS tossed in with the deal - basically Sun (and I guess Horizon) will be
holding their hands until they are happy. 

It's a nice deal for Sun and should certainly raise the visibility of Linux in
Ireland, which can't be bad.
