Since SuSE 9.2 Pro is full of problems--as seen on this list-- what are you going to be installing? (How can I get an English language version of an OS that doesn't have these?) And what are you going to be doing about programs that don't exist in Linux, like AutoCad, or Pro-E, or the EEsof RF software, etc.? Or is this only for office people, who only need a word processor, a spread sheet, an Internet browser, Adobe, and e-mail? (Everybody else will have XP?) Don't get me wrong: I'd like to see Linux win the battle with MS, but the problems are not small, nor are they subtle. --doug At 09:40 AM 1/26/2005 +0000, Ben Higginbottom wrote:

The last I heared was that it was still going ahead but at a slower rate. Belive me for an install base as large as Munich's (14,000 IIRC) a 4 year migration isnt at all slow. IBM is looking at probably a minimum of 5 years to migrate all 200,000 desktops, longer if they port all their software suites. Novell switched to a dual boot system and OOo last summer and will have migrated to NLD fully by the end of this summer, which I thought was amazingly quick.
