Linux not ready for the desktop? Give me a break! (NewsForge)Linux not ready for the desktop? Give me a break! (NewsForge)Posted Apr 14, 2003 9:09 UTC (Mon) by jonas_larson (guest, #10628)Parent article: Linux not ready for the desktop? Give me a break! (NewsForge) Is Linux ready? -yes! Is the buisiness ready? -No! Why? Every manager is looking for ROI (Return Of Investment) and are terrified of change... The most usuall question I get is: -can you get support for Linux? In order to put Linux on the desktop you have to "sell" the idea to the managers, and the best way to do that is the money way... (I know, I'm working as a "low level" manager)... Another problem is that a lot of companies are "microsoft blind" and their internal helpdesk (sys-admins) doesn't know anything else then windows... Unfortunally today Linux is only steeling market shares from the "real" unix's (HP-UX, Solaris, AIX...) So all you sys-admins out there get to work on your managers, they are the one's making the decitions.... //jonas
