http://stay-legal.org/ may be a suitable web site to record what you find
It was set up to provide information about alternative software in response to Microsoft's recent crusade against license infringements The ltsp web site would also be a good web site to have success stories published -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tommy Eaton Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 8:48 AM To: 'Craig Reeson'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ltsp-discuss] 500 head LTSP rollout - HELP! Craig, Regarding Question 1: I am a Network Admin that is looking to migrate our current Citrix/NT environment to Linux. At this point in the research, I am practically in your same situation. My boss has requested a listing of success stories and contacts that would be willing to talk with him if he has questions. I actually hope to begin this list today. Perhaps we could share our lists (or at least the stories) across this list or personally?

Win2Lin.com ! Hmm, actually that's pretty close to win4lin, but you get the idea... I think it would be great if a web site could be started that would be a centralized reference for businesses that are trying to migrate from windows to Linux. Or does one already exist? The demand will be especially high in the next few months as Microsoft has fired their latest shot in the foot: Software assurance plan (this is what actually prompted our migration research). The site could have articles/success stories, contacts, how-tos, and much more... > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig Reeson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 1:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] 500 head LTSP rollout - HELP! > > > Thankyou to all who have replied, it has been most helpful... > > At this stage I am not in a position to suggest any type of terminal to > the > customer.
