I was hired in a cybercafé last month. My job is to completely migrate it to Linux. (gaming machines included). Not an easy task as you can see, i've been working on desktop installations and config, as well as building an application that controls all of them from one computer and enables or disables them as clients walk in and ask for a computer. So, Am i using Linux in the workplace? hehe.. yeah, it's 100% of my job. > I think it would be encouraging to see who's doing what > with it, and > which distro's, whether they're seeing > an increase in business because of Linux and what > interesting things > they're doing with Linux. We've got several e-mails and messages from other places and shops that want to take the plunge and start migrating to Linux too, they mostly want to know "what" to do and "how" exactly are we doing it... > > It might prove to be an interesting source of information > for > newbie's to know what can be done with Linux, > especially when it's applied in a production environment. > We see all > kinds of articles regarding Linux, but > it's very hard to contact those people to see how something > was done, > and what Tips 'n' Tricks were used > to accomplish a particular task.

In fact, i was the one to suggest (and IMPOSE ;o)) Mandrake for the task. The day they gave me the job interview they had already installed two SuSE machines. One was the first desktop, the other was the server. The server is still using SuSE, as i'm reluctant to fix something that works, but all of the desktops have now Mdk 9.1 (and one 9.2). We have been talking to some MandrakeSoft people over here and there's the chance that we also become official Mandrake vendors. As part of the arrangements, there was the "success story", which involved us being in one of those articles. We're still thinking about it. > Is this something we could/should add to the Twiki site? > Comments? IMO yes. Damian
