Shawn:

What would you have to know to decide which OS to use?


I'm writing an article for right now for Linux Journal (will be out on
Monday) and Linux can not only do everything Windows does, it can
connect to Windows servers and run Win32 applications remotely - even
better than MS Terminal Server Client - with rdesktop.

If you need to run Windows applications you can use Citrix client,
Terminal Server Client, TSClient & VNC also known as remote desktop,
CodeWeavers Crossover Office (used at The Walt Disney Company since
early 2002), you can compile Win32 code with WINE if you have a home
grown Win32 software, VMWare, Win4Lin, WinX, dual boot, mount Windows
partitions and use openoffice.org or StarOffice. 

What can we do to help?
