Hello everyone, The following story is wonderfully relevant to the whole Linux desktop and "regular" users discussion. It does a great job of answering the ever-popular "Is Linux ready for the desktop?" question. Largo city, Florida is running a complete KDE/Linux desktop environment and saving millions for their taxpayers. Here's a little excerpt from the article. One of the great anti-Linux screeds we hear is, "The secretaries will never be able to figure it out." If that is so, then Largo employee Judy Judt must be one of the world's smartest office workers. She is sitting at her desk, happily accessing an online city directory that lists all employees, vendors, and other important contacts, using a simple Rolodex-like program that is running on top of an attractively-themed KDE 2.1.1 desktop. Then Judy moves to WordPerfect to check a document she's been working on -- by unshading an already-opened program window. "I like to keep them shaded like this," she says. "I know it's just habit, that it's really the same as keeping them in, what do you call it, the little bar at the bottom of the screen, but I like to do it this way on my computer." Read on gentle souls. http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/08/10/1441239&mode=thread Ah, it just warms my Linux geek heart.
