Migrating Your Office from Windows to Linux?
[Linux Business] Posted by Cliff on Friday May 17, -at-02:17PM
from the thanks-for-the-new-licensing-scheme-Bill dept.
bastiji asks: "I work at a mid-sized company, around 50 people and 90%
M$ shop (10% being the Sun server doing our backups). Most of my users
are using Office 85% of the time with some specialized apps thrown in
for good measure. With the upcoming licensing changes from M$ my finance
guys are worried about increased spending on even the software that we
already own. I've been to told to look for alternatives and I'm asking
for your help. How does one begin to do migration from a totally
dependent M$ shop to the least expensive options. Are there any examples
for mid-sized firms taking this route and any public examples of
cost-savings?"

Small-Mid Sized Business GNU/Linux Demo in NYC
Coincidentally, New York Linux Scene [nylxs.com], a volunteer advocacy
group in NYC, is planning a demonstration of GNU/Linux solutions for
small-mid sized businesses next Friday (May 24th).
The show will demonstrate how small-mid sized businesses can save money
and take advantage of the latest technology showing off such goodies as
Bayonne [gnu.org], LTSP [ltsp.org], X Terminal services, OpenOffice.org
[openoffice.org], and Evolution [ximian.com]
If you are interested in what GNU/Linux solutions are out there for your
small to mid sized office, come over to Segal Theater at CUNY Graduate
Center [cuny.edu], 34th St. and 5th Ave from 10am-5pm next Friday the
24th. [Free and Open to the Public]
This is a volunteer demonstration. With work like this, we are changing
the face of New York. If you are interested in coming or helping,
contact paulr at nylxs.com.
