Design a Virtual Office with Open Source?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-would-you-do-it dept.

apropos asks: "An interesting question came up recently when discussing (yet again) starting an open-source based consulting company: 'How would you design the ultimate virtual office with open source software?' With things like fax, VoIP, web, email, security and office suites all available as open source products, what kind of useful things could be done? One idea that came to mind was emailing answering machine recordings. What would you put into your ultimate virtual office solution?"

  10. Install Linux (+4, Informative) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    install Linux in your virtual office (is shiny?) and get rid of teh Evil Windoze. windoze crashes evry 15 minuten anyways --; this will likely help you, becuase Linux fixes everething. For exampel, a friend of my cousins' sister former roomnate uncle told me that a firend of him heard that this 1 dude took a Knoppix CD to this, like, village? to Zambodia or some country with monstrers and stuff,, andd teh CD caused teh wine or) water and bread &cookies to come out of teh dri solied. or something like that. thats' teh impressivel!

    so, install Linux. Preferebaly a very free version like, Debian, and all yuor problems will be gone and M$ will be defeated and kylled completely; againn.

    good lock!!1!

    If you implement a good porn cache, filtering out all the garbage and putting all the good stuff at one place, you can greatly increase productivity by saving everyone time and by also making employees/coworkers happier.
