What a great opertunity<sp?> for you. You can now sell them all new 
hardware and convert them over to OpenSource.

As for the NIC issue, just sell them MB's with built in NIC's. Almost all 
MB's are made outside of the US, so your not going to have much of a 
problem finding ones that will work for what you need.

And just remember. The French are always there when they need us..
