[CS-FSLUG] Churches Using GNU/Linux

[Timothy R. Butler]

Hi Don,

> America/Congregational>denomination/structure
> <Creve Coeur, Missouri USA>location (city, state, country)
> <Library catalog and access system>how used

	That system is running -- what is the version, I can't recall -- I 
think it is Mandrake 9.0 and a very minimal KDE Kiosk install. It works 
as both the client (KDE and Konqueror) and server (Apache and KOHA) for 
the library catalog. It works OK, although I need to implement some 
features the librarians really want.

	I tried to make bigger inroads, in fact, I moved one pastor over to 
GNU/Linux (Fedora Core/GNOME with my own personal tweaks applied to 
make it a bit more user friendly), but alas he seemed to feel "left 
out" being the only staff member without Windows XP. Plus his hard disk 
failed, and so that seemed to be all the motivation he needed to buy XP 
and give me the job of redoing everything again. :-(

	(We did that switch when Windows ME died on his computer and I 
suggested trying something more reliable.)

	We also, of course, use GNU/Linux for the web and e-mail server, 
although it is not the church's own server -- it is my company's (the 
one we are on right now).

	-Tim
