A finite last-come first-served queueing system is studied with batch input and non-exponential services. A closed form expression is obtained for the steady-state queue length distribution and shown to be insensitive to service distributional forms (i.e. to depend only on mean service times). This result is of both practical and theoretical interest as an extension of the standard exponential case.
