- please allow me to add a few of my own observations gathered from working with the Linux/SuSE desktop in corporate environments... a) Management indeed tends to be very fuzzy about what's on their PC's. They do because they are used to a MS-Windows environment, where this is an important issue. b) Namedropping is popular. I always see to that company logos etc., are properly displayed just about everywhere when I go to a first time demo of an application or a desktop for a buyer. Having a logozied (new word :-)) setup is a fine icebreaker. Even you could argue that it's ever so primitive, it works. I ALLWAYS see to that the first desktop background sports the company logo. They don't say anything..., but they love it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard +===============================================================+ Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" 9:50am oppe 0:40, 2 users, belastningennemsnit: 0,05, 0,15, 0,19 +===============================================================+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
