I plan on starting to use Linux as my desktop system and then starting to use it as a Server to see how can it replace our clients servers. The biggest problem on moving from Windows to Linux is that most clients are small companies with only one server, and almost all of them have some windows apps that need to run on the server, so the server has to be windows :(
Are you sure? We are running a SuSE linux server now for 3 years (started with 6.4) with mostly Windows clients, running several programs through Samba, such as Lotus Smartsuite, Open Office, and a mixed accounting program (Windows clients/Linux server/samba connection [Pervasive DB]). Since I was the one asked to do this, I couldn't use a Microsoft server, both for cost, stability, and security reasons, so we went with Linux. Things are working very well. :-) -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
