A good first step would be first to wean people away from using MSIE and Outlook (which in my experience cause 90% of all security problems in a typical corporate network) and using a Free Software equivalent of the same, like Firefox and Thunderbird. Then maybe you can wean them away from using Office by installing the Windows version of OpenOffice. Most people will never use any other applications besides these and hence you can easily defenestrate their computer totally and get them to use these same programs under KDE or Gnome. It then isn't such a terrible shock. -- dido Osama bin Laden: The Emmanuel Goldstein of our generation. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
