There's a local FreeBSD shop?!? Anyway, yeah, we get basically no help from most computer shops in this area for anything but Windows. There's one Mac shop on Airline near I-12, but that's it for non-Windows support here. There's been an offline discussion about some of us spearheading a Linux support company, but I don't know how far the participants got.
I think there are a number of us who'd be more than happy to help implement Linux into an enterprise. The problem I have, for one, is that I have a regular job. I just don't have TIME to do that kind of work during business hours anymore. I'd love to help, and I'd help set the thing up at a LUG if needed. I just can't do it during the day. -- -j On Thu, 27 Dec 2001, Edmund Cramp wrote: > Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2001 08:58:34 -0600 > From: Edmund Cramp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [brluglist] Linux setup > > Dear listmembers, > > It would be nice if there was a list somewhere of the local folks who > do commercial Linux installations - I've been interested in moving my > two NT servers to a UNIX/Linux environment for a while but there's very > little information to help the NT Admin port a business to Linux etc. > The BRLUG web page has a few links to "helpful" URLs but nothing that > appears to point a local Baton Rouge business to any local help. > Talking to the local Gateway and CompUSA folks gets the usual blank > stare... although Gateway were helpful in pointing me towards a local > FreeBSD shop. > > Edmund Cramp > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Behalf Of John Hebert > > Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 7:56 AM > > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > > Subject: RE: [brluglist] Linux setup > > > > Dustin, > > > > Probably so, via Samba and specified user groups.
