Ask Slashdot: Linux in the Corporation

Ross Thompson has this question for you all: "I'm a consultant in the DFW, Texas area and have been tasked with cutting IT costs for a large (600+ users) Fortune 1000 company. Currently the company running NT/Novell networks and WinFrame. DHCP is being utilized for WinFrame. All clients are running NT Workstation 4.0. At this point, management isn't too happy with Microsoft, since they spend millions of dollars each year in clients licenses and support costs. I would (maybe) like to suggest going with Linux clients to save these costs." Sound interesting? Well, click below!

Ross had some additional questions:

Does anyone know if large-scale rollouts of Linux software have been implemented in other companies?

If so, is Linux any more difficult to administer than NT workstation?

Can WinFrame be run on Linux clients?

Anything else I should know about a large-scale rollout of Linux?
