Currently working on a migration programme for 50+ head office staff to move to Linux. Any help appreciated

Edit: Just dug out a Linux system admin manual from 2001 and thought I'd share the Min specs listed:

* At least 1 CPU

* At least a 3.5" disk drive

Mike, 23. Did 4 years in the US Navy as an IT right out of high school where I worked on some of the most elite computer technology in the world (a Windows NT network). Been out for just over a year. Worked at a call center for about 10 months doing computer support for NMCI. I'm now a Network Test Engineer with a well respected company, a peace activist, and a life-long student. I switched to Ubuntu right after I separated from the Navy and haven't looked back since.

26yr old network engineer for a global fortune 500 defense firm. tried linux 8 years ago... hated it and gave up after about a week (i wish i knew what distro). I've been using linux 100% at home for about a year, after trying fedora core 4 or 5, i switched to ubuntu 6 (now at 7.10). I'd use it at work, but i work on a federal network, and they're *** backwards about security (open souce is insecure to them, even though down the street all the '3 letter' agencies use it for mission critical apps). At my next job, desktop linux will be a part of my benefits negotiations.

oh and.... i love beer
