I ran a 'this is Linux day' at the end of March and what impressed everyone
was that a 486 was acting as a firewall for our internet connection it was
also acting as print server and someone was using KDE and Netscape to browse
the internet. In the corner was a 386/25 with 8meg and a 40meg drive running
an Apache server.
This is perhaps IMHO one of the most important ways we can get Linux into
small businesses. All the scare stories about the internet caused by the
total lack of security in W**, solved using the machine they were going to
throw away because it couldn't run bloated W** software and no one wanted it
at home because the kids can't play the latest games.
By the way I live in France so I want to install Mandrake.
