I'm wondering if now is the time to try to make serious inroads on the
desktop? With M$ customer "rape" licensing, many IT managers may be willing
to look closely at using linux for more than just file/print/web serving.
This could be a good opportunity to get a foot in the door with IT desktops
systems. I think a well configured and stripped down linux running KDE2.2 or
Ximian Gnome and OpenOffice 6 is sufficient for many corporate users. I use
a linux workstation at work, and have gotten to the point that I don't even
need VMWare at work anymore. What have your experiences been?
