I know this is fairly old news for a lot of people, but since people have been asking a couple questions about using Linux servers in businesses and stuff like that I thought that they may find this interesting and informative.

It was created by the EU from numerous European Companies experianced in their efforts to ween themselves from a dependance on a single software vendor. 😛 And a bunch of studies a stuff like that.

Hope you find it informative and show you that if your contemplating using Linux in the workplace and have little experiance with it, then your not alone not blazing new paths.

Ok, Heres another pdf comming from Europe about software migration. Like the first post I learned it from /.

This is from Germany and concintrates on gradual trasition from Microsoft products over to Linux-based solutions.

It goes into details and describes going from NT-> Linux, w2k -> Linux vs NT-> w2k and that sort of thing.

Over 400 pages of high-German-quality details describing everything you may face and what to do, and what software to look into to.

Designed to be cost effective and practicle. Instead of the hey-lets-scrap-everything-and-jump-into-linux method.
