  • Re: Help Selling Linux to our ED and Staff

    [quote user="obscurant"] You can run IE in linux. [/quote] The IE license is tied to Windows, so I think it would be unwise for a business to go this route. I have 20 users on an LTSP network, and all of them require IE. So I have a VMWARE virtual machine running Windows Server 2003 that they use to access IE via Rdesktop with SeamlessRDP

  • Re: Simple yet professional creating brochures, flyers, invites software

    There is no software on the market that is compatible with Publisher. The best thing you can do is export from a .PUB file to .DOC, but you need publisher to do this and you will lose a TON of formatting. Scribus is probably less like Publisher, and more like PageMaker / InDesign / Quark Express. Unfortunately there isn't an "Open Source Publisher"

  • Re: image converter

    Out of all of the solutions I have mentioned here, only one is Open Source: The Gimp . The others all seem to be either paid commercial or free trial versions.

    To the OP: We have right around 125 users, about 75% of whom are using Ubuntu Linux on desktops. We also use it on well over half our servers. It was a bit of a struggle initially, but once people 'get out of their own way', it's really not all that different. Of course it helps if you have a Windows Terminal Server (or four) like we do

  • Re: VMware

    The best discount i've found is FREE - both Virtualbox and VMWare have free editions, and they provide most of the basic functionality as the poster above mentioned. I'm using Virtualbox as an application server (MS Access & IE7) it runs on a Linux host with an Intel Core 2 Quad processor and 1GB ram allocated and works great for about 12

    We use Jevents for Joomla - it's pretty easy to use, and flexible. If you want something more advanced that can store client demographics info, etc. you might take a look at CiviCRM which has a module called CiviEvent http://www.civicrm.org http://www.jevents.net (requires a Joomla website) -n8

    Hi, You should take a look at Timetrex. It's a web-based time tracking and project management system. It integrates with Asterisk for phone-based punches, and could probably be adapted to suit your needs. The developers are very good at working with you to meet your specific needs.

    Hi, Right now we're evaluating Zoho People HRMS, a web-based solution. It's a little on the pricey side, but has some very slick automation features, and integrates nicely with our website for recruiting. (yeah, believe it or not we're hiring right now.. Sadly not in IT!) Check it out: http://people.zoho.com Cheerio, -n8

  • RE: Wubi: the easiest way for beginners to install Ubuntu Linux?

    If you compare a bare metal install between Windows & Ubuntu for basic functionality on a reasonably modern machine (based on recent experience with a P4/512MB/NV 6100) When I say Basic functionality, I mean web browsing, word processor, spreadsheets, etc. Windows XP SP2: - 2 hours to install - Reboot - 1 hour to track down net, sound, video drivers
