RE: converting to linux

Yeah, at Brainshare we got Jack Messman's promise that by the end of the
year every single desktop in corporate Novell world would be running
Open Source. By the end of this summer they're all converting their
office apps to open source. Interesting times we live in.

I believe that Novell (pretty much the whole company) is in the process
of converting as well; "eat your own dog food" and all that.

Saw it posted to OSNews; there was an article with some quotes from the
person in charge of the rollover; she seemed rather sure that it
wouldn't be too bad at all.
