I work for a mid sized county in Utah, and we are also using Qukck Tech Pro. it was a little on the pricy side, it was about $900 for the diag. software and a hardware pci post/test card, I believe that you can get the software alone for about $400, the test card rocks, it has all of their diagnostics software built on to the board, and a svga video connector so you can plug it in and power up your machine, with only the motherboard,cpu, and the diag card in the machine, (Yes it also has ram onboard) Very useful for finding crazy bugs on your hardware. Ultra-x also claims that they are used by Intel,AMD,.....etc in their test labratories.
I talked with those representing the Mozilla project at Comdex/LasVegas, They said that they were going to roll out the netscape branded ISP service. That is the true part. The fase part is that Mozilla/Netscape (Which Trademark AOL owns) Will only be involved as the name of the service, the Browser of choice will be Internet Explorer. Name Branded Marketing Strikes Again.
Unfortunately regardless of the benchmark results, You can still only run OS X on a mac. I guess I will just have to settle for the G5 since Microsoft can't seem to offer anything that is nice to look at/usable. Go Apple!
I work for a midsized county it department, we run almost exclusively debian servers, our main Oracle 9i server is running Debian Stable, and runs just great, Debian is by far the simplest and most efficient linux install to maintain in my estimation. Go Debian!!!
In the first place, Who in the world acutally uses all of the features in MS Office, 1% of the US populace, 99% are either Just using it to View Documents or using the very basic features, ie... Bold Underline Italics etc... as long at the app will open a word or excell or powerpoint document and then allow them to edit it, you are just fine.
I agree that most people that use the labs mainly browse the web. having at least half of the lab running linux with something like KDE 3.0 and using Konqueror for the browser would be a sinch for anyone to figure out and then you would have greater security and protection from all of the web, viruses and such.
People Use windows apps because that is what they are given in their "labs" or at their home, if the University makes the change they will all eventually just learn to use the applications on the computers on the labs or they will be forced to drive to their homes and use their own windows boxes. Besides that It has been well proven that You can get many of your windows apps to run under linux just fine only using the wine libraries.
CAT has one that seems to take up less space!

Flywheel UPS
·
· Score: 1
Caterpiller sent a little promotional flywheel to work one day, pretty novel idea I think, but the one from beacon has to be placed underground??? why is that, pretty difficult to implement!
the CAT UPS is only 10 feet Square and performes comprably if not superiorly!
