There's a ton of overlap with businesses, government and schools. I don't see
that saying we support the enterprise rules these out. With an annual budget
of over $1 million, our local elementry school is _by far_ the largest
enterprise in town. :)
Hey, Debian Sarge Beta2 installed flawlessly on my Dell Laptop. Time to
apt-get x-windows and see what happens if I debmake the sources in KDE's
tree. Wouldn't it be nice if KDE 3.2 just builds on Sarge. At my current
rate of progress, you might hear back from me in a couple weeks. :(
Also, I heard there are Kolab debs--should we contact the author and offer
them our repository? I've got the url written down somewhere ...
I installed ReKall the other day and it is pretty sweet. There are currently
no debs. There are currently no Access to rekall migration scripts :( I
wonder if we could use mono as a way to help people re-use VBA scripts.
Regards,
Mark
