This tends to be a very low activity list, but I believe it has a fair number of "lurkers" (myself included). It seems as if most of the activity is outside of the United States. I'm no longer in private practice, but have several clients (computer consulting) who are lawyers/law firms. While I'm a great fan of Open Source and have been a heavy user since 1999, most law firms in this area (Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota) are too entwined with Windows on the desktop to get beyond that. We do, however, frequently use (debian) linux for servers and other "infrastructure" components (VPN, firewall, etc.) for these firms.
Because I'm so deeply involved with both the linux (by choice) and windows (by necessity) platforms, I use VMware (proprietary unfortunately, but worth it) to run whatever I need, whenever and wherever. While it adds a bit to the learning curve, it allows you the greatest amount of flexibility in dealing with multiple operating systems. With the recent release of the *free* VMPlayer, many new opportunities have been created. ...hj mjewell wrote: > I'm a new subscriber to this list and am wondering whether it is still > active.
