We are using Linux, namely Ubuntu, on the corporate desktop. > what things have changed that make it better received and what hasn't? OpenOffice.org 2.4.x is way better than OOo 1.1.x -- In a corporate desktop, the office suite and email are the most used apps. Our main system is accessed via telnet so not much of an issue, except for the printing, at first. And we also made a number of our PCs multihead/multiuser PCs which provide some savings. > what strategies do you recommend to those thinking of adopting linux > on the desktop? In our case we had to wean them off MS products a little at a time. We changed email clients to Thunderbird, then switched from MS Offfice to OOo for the casual users. We are now slowly migrating majority of our users from M$ to Ubuntu Hardy -- aside from IT, we have two other departments migrated, and one or two more is planned this month. --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
