[Technical] Linux

[Russell Curr]

Hi Lorraine,

We use Suse for our firewall/proxy server and also have 2 Suse machines running internal sites - Moodle and a students intranet.  We did trial Suse on the desktop last year for one room.  Response from staff was generally supportive, although some vocal members objected to not having access to Windows.  Currently we run XP on all desktops, Novell as the network, but will probably move to Novell's OES at the end of this year.

cheers

Russell

Is anyone running their network or desktops on Linux rather than Novell
or Windows. If so what software do you use to run with it.
