The CEO of my major customer is desperate to bring LINUX to the desktop. The customer is a global logisitcs firm with approximately 5000 employees, based in the UK with branches worldwide. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations when considering where in the business to deploy LINUX??? Any distro specific horror stories would be greatly received.
This is the customer’s first foray into LINUX and one of the drivers seems to be the “it’s free isn’t it???” argument. I think I understand the key concepts of Open Source, and that a potential saving from using LINUX with Open Source software is appealing to the CEO. My primary concern is that if we go down the Open Source road, my customer may become “incompatible” with suppliers and customers using Bill’s software.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Cheers.
