If you follow that link thought to the original article, there is a fantastic quote: "Previously, one of us would be travelling all year just to install a new version of some anti virus application on the desktops in the Gendarmerie's outposts on the islands in French Polynesia. A similar operation now is finished within two weeks and does not require travelling." Travelling for a year around southern pacific islands doesn't sound like much of a hardship. I bet the guy who used to have that job is cursing the move to Ubuntu. :-) -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
