Verizon was in my back yard laying fiber just last week for the neighborhood. Anyone out there have any experience with the amount of time that goes by between laying the cable and getting service? I am really hoping it will happen in under a year.
Does it matter that the system will feel slow as a dog as services are lauching concurrent with your login? On the popular non-open-source server platfom, I quite frequently let it sit at the login prompt for five minutes. Then the login feels fast.
I can verify that it does work. The TC1000 is a real piece of junk in the windows world. Only a few months after I got mine, I upgraded to the much better TC1100. When I found this site (months ago) I gave it a try. I'm happy to report that the TC1000 work great with linux and nearly all the hardware works. I still don't have portrate mode working but am quite happy with it. One glaring ommision on the page is how to login with just the pen. I hacked up a bit of code and put it in one or two of the startup scripts to get a keyboard to pop up during login and go away after authentication. Search the list from that site if you want it.
You might give OpenMFG a look. I have no business affiliation with them but I know the CEO personally. They use the postgresql engine as a backend and as a former employee from GreatBridge.org, I can say the database is up for the task. Their application is geared more for the manufacturing market, but it is open source. If you can make it work without support, more power to you. Knowing there is commercial support available could make using it more attractive if your business depends on it.
This quote from the bottom of page 39 struck me as something government was not capable of admitting.
The subcommittee does not recommend cybersecurity industry or standards regulation at this time. Industry may do more than government could regulate. Because the threat and the technology move so quickly in this area, the nation cannot afford for industry to be hamstrung by outdated laws and regulation that could impose temporal minimum requirements.

I once got 17 cents for a textbook I paid $50 for.
If I had the choice, I would go e-book all the way.

That url should be OpenMFG.com not .org. Sorry about that.
