I work for an electrical-mechanical consulting firm. When I look at the potential of Linux as a server for a LAN(gee would it be nice to not handle all those floppies) do I get excited, but alas a newbie will never convince an employer of the potential, not to mention the cost savings over(cough) M$ NT. Get enough Linux into the small places and you'll get it into the BIG places.
we're getting there. If the PHBs at your site insist on NT, you can go behind their back and install linux, making the rest of the LAN believe they're seeing an NT box (keyword: samba) One fine source of references is <A HREF="http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html"><A HREF="http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html</A">http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html.
