[lug] Another win for Linux

[Shannon Johnston]

I've slowly converted about a quarter of my company to Linux on the
dekstop. I've managed to integrate them into a windows environment. The
Star Office 6.0 suite is great and really makes things easy. I've heard
that the final release of 6.0 will have M$ Outlook support. 
What I'm leading up to here is that Red Hat has some great migration
papers available upon request.

PS - Did anybody see the thing about how ILM is wanting to switch to Linux
Render farms??
