: What I do see that makes people listen is how much money they will save.  5
: computers with Windows X-tra P-aint + office products = $1000's of dollars.
:  Right now, that may speak volumes.  My brother-in-law was installing a
: Linux file server for my father-in-law's company to replace the one running
: windows.  One of the employees started bashing Linus and Linux.  He looked
: at him and said that this may take a bit more time to set up, but it will
: save the company 500 bucks a month.  Shut him right up.

What takes longer to set up? I'm pretty sure that a ?indows server would take me days 
longer than a Linux
server to set up.. Maybe I should try to set up both sometime to see.. I've never 
worked on setting up a
?indows server. Could we do a UUG workshop on server set up benchmarks sometime 
maybe?? It might make a good
article for the UUG website!! I can setup a functional DNS/Mail/Web/DHCP/Samba server 
running Linux in about
1.5 to 2 hours from blank drive to live.. Not bragging, just stating my experiences..

Later,

Bob
