Newx at this college ...
This college (15 k students) has decided to go 100% linux!!. All
Novell+NT servers will go gradually down and a RedHat (hehe) setup
will power the several systems running inhere. The news came like a
bomb, today. This college is fed up with the licence-blood-sucking
policy from, mainly, Novell.
As I mentioned in an early message of mine to the list:
globalization of economy, .edu budget cuts and the nasty
consequences from the equalization of macro-economies within the
(European) union, are bulldozing the way open to LinUX.
Anyway. I already recruited (thru the network boss here -who
happens to be a fiend of mine, hehe-) a 30 peer-student group for
the experiement. The idea is to establish at this college a beta
end user group which will grow from zero and will keep testing and
doing data input for the SEG. IMO, this is the safest approach we
may have to obtain hard-core data. Data gathered from the net could
be complementary.
BTW: All of the guinea-pigs are-and-willbe informed and well willing
to be such. Dont worry about ethical issues, this'll be as
transparent as LinUX deserves.
That's all for 2day from this end.
Cheers,
Aldo
