Gavin Hamill e-mailed me this information and with permission I forward this 
to this list. 

Anyone on this list wants to help with doing a story for enterprise.kde.org? 

Ciao

Sorry, let me chip in here..

We run www.laterooms.com in Manchester, UK which necessitates a 30-agent
call-centre.

We have PXE-netbooting diskless machines running KDE 3.2.2 over NFS-mount,
with NFS homedirs and NIS logins.

The workload is relatively low, with only a web browser and email client (at
present it's Evolution... but I'd like to move to Kontact/KMail) .

We would use KSpread, but it does not support .XLS writing so we must use
OpenOffice.org instead.

Switching to a Linux desktop has meant our support costs have fallen through
the floor, and each agent can be more productive by not having to worry about
spyware/malware/viruses/security threats/worms etc. :)

KDE has provided an interface that is much more familiar to Windows users
 than GNOME, and I have got mainly good feedback from the users.

I also prefer the KDE way of configuration (flat text files compared with
multiple XML files in a directory structure)

Thank you!
Gavin.
