Our company is considering to migrate some Desktop PC’s to Linux. To rephrase: I have to prove how far the development of Linux is feasible in our company!
I have a checklist about the programs which are used in our company. Most of the vendors of these programs don’t support Linux solutions/Clients (hopefully it will change as soon as possible). Therefore I am looking for alternatives by taking into account the compatibility to our existing programs, because we will not migrate all PC’s. I hope you can fill in my list. If this is no subject for this mailing list, please let me know or maybe you just prefer it to send it to my private email address, it would be nice! If you have already experienced alternative products playing/working with the common windows based products, please write down a mark between 1-6 (“1 �C very well” to “6 - very bad”) in brackets behind the certain program and if u don’t mind with a short explanation of pros and cons, just insert with a comma and use a “P:” for pros and a “C:” for cons! For example: Alternative: openoffice(3,P:faster, more stable, C:" not compatible to Microsoft excel 2000 sheets), staroffice (2) Following the list of the programs my company used: MS Office 97/2002 ------------------ Linux version: No Alternatives: openoffice(), star office() Comments: MS Netmeeting --------------- Linux version: No Alternatives: Comments: Power Archiver (Free compression tool) ------------------------------------- Linux version: No Alternatives: Comments: Irfan View ---------- Linux version: No Alternatives: Comments: Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw ---------------------------- Linux version: No/yes (PhotoPaint) Alternatives: Gimp(), PhotoPaint() Comments: Lotus Notes Domino 5 --------------------- Linux version: No Alternatives: Comments: SAP ---- Linux version: mySAP Alternatives: Comments: Adobe Acrobat Reader Linux version: yes Alternatives: Comments: And last but not least one question: If we come to the conclusion to migrate to Linux which Operating system would you choose for a Desktop solution and WHY !?!? That’s it! Thanks a lot! If you find any mistakes in my listing your are welcome to correct ! ;-) Cheers JonasN� [EMAIL PROTECTED] ���[hu驸j|"�}�z��操b槽 y����嗦+aj����-←Р骒r��y:韫�^ ��i�e��fj�^�X�肚^n&Б
