[NTLUG:Discuss] Is Linux Ready for the desktop now?

[greenglow484@juno.com]

Yup, I'd say so ...

"Secretaries use Linux, taxpayers save millions"
.....
"Walk into the Largo, Florida, city hall and look at the two computer
screens behind the                reception desk. Instead of the typical
Windows "Start" button in the lower left-hand corner,                they
have a KDE "Gear" logo, as do almost all of the ****400-plus**** monitors
on Largo employees' desks. Receptionists, administrative assistants, and
division fire chiefs here all use Linux instead of Windows, and most of
them don't really notice one way or the other. But the               
elected officials who are responsible for Largo's IT budget certainly
know about and notice                Linux, because using Linux instead
of Windows is saving the city a lot of money."  (emphasis added --
D.D.D.)
