[mdlug] Linux Desktops For Sale

[Robert Adkins]

Maybe.

All I know is the day to day issues of dealing with an office full of

upgraded from one OS to the next, one office package to the next and the
complete negative experience they carry for upwards of a few months while
they are growing used to the latest Windows/Office setup.
