this might be a bit overwhelming... but I believe in letting people make their own minds up. Here is a bit of a list of project management software that you are looking for: http://openproj.org/ http://www.project-open.com/index.html http://ganttproject.sourceforge.net/ http://www.koffice.org/kplato/ http://www.taskjuggler.org/ http://live.gnome.org/Planner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_project_management_software plus other alternate Linux software http://www.linuxalt.com/ Finally, 8.04 is released this Friday, I suggest waiting for that then try out the new feature called "Wubi" http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/804rc#head-87d0a87aa86aa19685191dac8a85075a9b4dbc7b It will allow you to safely uninstall ubuntu from within windows without affecting the boot loader and having to repartition before hand. It's a great way to get a feel for the OS. personally I'm going to do the nearly final step and use ubuntu for my work (sounds just like your job) because of the new Active Directory support: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/804rc#head-30a73f67153586f291a6eca6c093d790554d4269 :-) good luck -- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono The more you know the less you need to say. - Jim Rohn http://outcampaign.org/ -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
