: 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..
