Is there anyone currently on the list that are using Linux in a corporate environment on desktops other than sysadmin desktops? I think it might be kinda nice to either base a meeting on corporate desktop Linux or make a SIG meeting with that in mind. I would like to be able to discuss many of the things that are coming up in this thread in more detail. Things that I would like to go over some more: Centralized authentication (LDAP,NIS,SMB,etc...) scalable Home directory shares (NFS,SMB,CODA,) and administration scalable calendering applications usability of wine for backward compatibility ltsp scalability other things that the list and I can come up with if nothing else lets discuss these things in this thread. -- Bill Warner Unix/Linux Admin.
