We have been steadily working on our clients with Linux in the
workplace. They all start out with Linux as SMB, Email, Intranet
servers, then I gradually work in the workstations and with the help of
VMware, I can let the workstations do there windows stuff and at the
same time with a click of a mouse, do there email and web stuff in
Linux, for more security, etc. It's a formula that's been building and
building with great success.
