People, In my continuing attempts to push Linux past the currents limits, "To infinity, & beyond...", I am trying to push the benefits, not the name. I am trying to place Linux boxes for PHBs & other nontechnical people. I am trying to gather lists of these benefits in PHB language. For instance, when I talk about using Linux for email, I talk about: email addresses for every member of the staff [EMAIL PROTECTED] (autoresponders) updating data bases by email etc. This is the level of detail we have to mention to get non-techies interested. Actually, it's not the level of detail, but paying attention to what it can do for them, not how it does it. I am as guilty of the latter as anybody. THE CHALLENGE! We need lists of benefits like this, not the technical detail I have been pushing to the techies. What unique PHB benefits can we pitch for Linux, backing them up? You can do your usual thing & flame each other on the list, or email me. I will post summary(s). I will not don the usual asbestos underwear. It's been a long winter. I enjoy the warm(?) discussions, that stuff is itchy, & I have gotten this strange cough. (Can you claim workmen's comp for wearing virtual asbestos to protect from email flames)? To the swords/pens, attack! Bob Sparks Never attribute to malice, that which can be explained by stupidity. Never attribute to stupidity, that which can be explained by lack of information. ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
