My name is Ricardo, I work for local government as a Windoze NT Network Admin (and a Lotus Notes Admin)(oh, and as a MS SQL Server admin), and I was attracted to Linux once I saw the license costs for MS products!
Heheh... pleased to welcome you to the group!

Where is that policy set? I still don't understand why the government is apparently trying to get every company in the land to buy at least one operating system from an American company.
When is the next meet? Both my machines have network cards, and I might be able to borrow a hub or two.
On 16 September at Syleham, near Diss, Suffolk. See the web site (URL below)... I guess we should put more details on there.

what makes me laugh is the fact that a lot of the governments web sites (and the royal family's servers) are linux/BSD/open source based... I wonder if the IT directors know this ;)
