Hi,

Check out this article! Who says Linux isn't productive on the desktop. Nice to see that others are finally discovering what some of us already know. ;D

I love it.....now if other cities would wake up and smell the savings(sorry bad pun). With 800 people, I bet you atleast a few of those went home and decided, hmmm, I'll try Linux at home since I know how to use it. That is how Linux will take over the desktop, thanks for the article, VERY NICE! ;D

We should all e-mail the link to our local government representatives ;D, asking them why they aren't trying to save our taxpayer money by using Linux. The ones coming up for re-election might really take notice.

I think that is a good idea...although the officials in this state are about as pathetic as the dog crap on my shoe!

Even a better idea might be too also e-mail it to the local newspapers and tv stations. ;D

Actually, some pretty good news regarding that. I am currently in talks with John Balzar from the LA Times to have him feature Linux. He has emailed me some questions that I am actually going to let you guys answer. I will post the questions tomorrow as I am not at home right now. So, hopefully we'll have an article with our name out there soon!
