To be honest with you, I don't have any customer who deploys the *nix only
policy, but I do have a few customers interested in switching part of the
system to linux.
For us in Hong Kong to push for Linux, we encopunter more difficulty, namely
the Chinese lanuage add-on.
Quite a few companies sell nice distro with CHinese language support.
Bluepoint -- very Caldera style, maybe even easier for newbies to use , as
the system setup menu ( Under KDE1 ) is very WIndows style. Good manual too.
A small but is that the current on sale employs 2.2.x kernel -- but they
have reisef file ssytem support.
Chinese2000 -- good phone support, abundant device drivers. 2.2.x kernel
with KDE2 . Manual on CD.
Thiz -- with 2.4 kernel and KDE 2. very good but don't give many options
during
installation. The default installs only the root account and
standardized
root password. So for a newbie, it is even easier to install
than Windows.
But without any prior knowledge of Linux, the installer would
always
use the box with root login -- standardized password.
to name a few.
But for office applications, none I ahve seen are stable enough when
working on Excel or even Word files created with M$ software.
Some more work needs to be done before Linux can take off in Hong Kong.
