[CS-FSLUG] article on current mission news

Dear Brin, Our organization will be going over to Linux  eventualy. The 
first step was to install Abiword, Opera, Mozilla, and Open Office, in 
some sort of combination on all machines to get rid of license cost 
problems, plus they can operate on windows or Linux. Next step is to 
install, Linux software on Compaq servers we have been given.  Samba 
will aleviate any possable need for communication between any needed ms
 type programs.  The office stuff, mailing lists, all that can go on 
Linux.  Currently the organizational accounting, tax stuff, pay 
packets, will have to stay ms, till replacements can be found.  The 
school may go over to the Debian diskless project, or tight permissions 
as some of the students are trashing the machines trying to get past 
the internet filtering software .  Pre insalling Linux with one desktop 
and no uneeded software will lighten the load and is no more difficult 
than windoze.  Not crashing will end the field reinstalls and make 
things generaly easier.
