Hi Null, Can I start by asking that you use your real name when posting to this list. I think it is polite for us to be able to identify you properly.

Last year I was working at SGI on their NAS product. I was involved in adding HA support to it. These systems can support petabytes of data, if your budget can. Most network services running under Linux support distribution/replication/fail over. Samba 4 will offer native support for AD and group policy. AFAIK packaging up MSIs is pretty easy on a Windows desktop, but debs are easier :P > Im curious about this.

I think you will find it is the places you have worked. For example, yesterday I was contacted to discuss an Australian based ubuntu desktop roll out project involving thousands of desktop and no, I can't provide more info at this stage. The client already runs a Linux based back office with some desktops tux powered. Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
