Migrating an attorney's office's entire network to Linux! Ask me Anything!

In fact, I'm posting from the new server. (People are already connected to the Internet through it)

Server goes first. Then database goes from Access to web app under MySQL. Then users' machines.

Resistance is futile. :smoke:

2. That will be me soon, hopefully.

Mandrakelinux 10.1 Official-PPC. Buncha Macs. Not my idea.

Oh boy. Me treading boldly into the Brave New World...

9. Wow. Linux on Macs. Why don't they want OSX?

I believe they'll be paying for the OS licenses anyway. Or not?

[Deja Q]

15. OS X won't work on pre-G4 CPUs. The PPC is pre-G4.

:-(

Or so I heard.

3. WOW! That's almost as hard as....

Teaching lawyers how to use a word processor!

My neighbor is a netdude for a law office, too. He's told me the horror stories about technophobic lawyers. You have my greatest sympathies.

What kind of desktop are you using? Any particular distro? I assume you're using OpenOffice for your office suite?

Good luck! :toast: :hi:

6. THIS lawyer is seriously technophiliac.

I'm using Fedora Core 3. fresh from the oven. Purrs like a pussycat. Sleek 'n' mean. Love it. I'll establish GNOME for the masses. And yes, OpenOffice.

4. Vertical applications you are using?

Calendaring, case management, etc.?

is document managing part of this too?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. Nothing sophisticated. I'm just replicating their current capabilities.

Which do not involve anything fancy. THEN we think of improvements.

[DBoon]

12. So email, OpenOffice, stuff like that?

eom

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. Yep (nt)
