4, adding new packages (ie scanner, sound), has/will be so much easier
since lbe is so easy to use.

I've had some probs with mozilla-firebird and pdf's, haven't tried the
upcoming .8 cvs version to see if fixed.

Small company I work for has gone all linux/ltsp, and we haven't looked
back.  The printers/scanners we bought back in the windows world had
full linux support (won't always be the case).  We set a firm cut over
date, so that attitudes and feet dragging wouldn't set in.  We
identified all the software we were using, and found better/good enough
replacements ahead of time.

Been well over a year.  Only payroll is left on ms windows, we don't
mess with payroll :)
