Hi Not really a great example - my company is a manufacturing operation, all on 1 site, but our desktops are 100% thin - a few neoware boxes, and the rest are reclaimed PC's bought from a broker (old Dell P133's). We have around 20 desktops, supported by 2 servers (for redundancy), and we run OpenOffice and Hylafax for faxing (in and out) and Evolution for groupware/email . Browsers are a weak spot (imho), and so we give access to opera, konqueror, and mozilla/galeon - usually one of them will work OK, and all are getting better - flash is still a problem, but hopefully is being fixed. We have 1 server running win4lin, which allows access to win applications we cannot yet move (payroll / EDI ), and this replaced a PC which was shared by sneakernet! Our accounts system is on a SCO box, but we are about to take part in a beta test for moving it onto linux - so hopefully we are almost there! Hope this helps David -- ------------------------------------------------ G. David Sword | Tel. (44) 1236 725094 | Financial Director | Fax.
