Professional support from Sun for OpenOffice has helped me considerably in convicing organisations to migrate. Even if they dont use it (well, they wont use it, they ask me for help), it is a sign of the quality of the software. I can now recommend it without worry, because I know that I wont be alone if I do need help.
Soon I will be doing a rollout of new PC's for a local school with OpenOffice, Mozilla, and if I can get my hands on some Gimp 2.0 binaries soon, Gimp 2.0.
Another customer came to me today concerns about their use of Microsoft Office without the necessary licenses. I will be testing OpenOffice there soon too.

Well, the post said "a story with photos", WTF did you expect??
By default, Debian doesn't install a package for the kernel, just the kernel itself. Many people leave it with the default kernel that it is installed, local root expoits and all.
Those who do update the kernel, again probably bypass the debian packages and roll their own kernel to suit their needs.
Then there is the third group of people will just "apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686", and let the magic happen.
However, everyone (almost) has the adduser package installed.

FBI Shutters Web Host
By Rich Miller Carrier Hotels Editor Posted Feb 19, 2004

If FBI agents showed up at your data center bearing a warrant, would you be able to provide them prompt access to customer data? How long would it take?
That's an important question in the wake of an FBI raid of Columbus, Ohio hosting company CIT Hosting last Saturday. Federal agents wound up shutting down the entire operation, seizing all the company's web servers and all customer data as part of its investigation of a hacking incident.
CIT Hosting, also known as FooNet, markets itself as "the leader in the IRC and DDoS protection business for the last 5 years." The company posted a web page informing customers that its data center was shut down, and instructing customers to contact the FBI if they needed access to their files.
"The FBI executed a search warrant issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio regarding the IRC network that we host," the company said in its statement.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a live chat system that allows users to create private discussion rooms. While IRC has a lengthy history of legitimate use, it is also a medium for discreet communication between hackers. CIT said the FBI was "investigating whether someone hosted on our network hacked and attacked someone else."
"After several hours of attempting to track down, inspect and audit the terabytes of data that we host, the FBI determined that it was more efficient (from their point of view) to remove all of our servers and transport them to the FBI local laboratories for inspection," the statement continued. "The FBI has assured us that as soon as the data has been safely copied and inspected, the equipment will be promptly returned. Unfortunately, the FBI has not been able to tell us when they will be completed with their inspection."
The seizure isn't standard procedure, and there's no way to know exactly what prompted it. CIT's account suggests the FBI may have lost patience with the process. The IRC-focused nature of CIT's business may also have been a factor.
But if you're a data center operator, you want to avoid any scenario in which the FBI gets impatient and starts hauling away your servers. Just one more item on the contingency planning checklist for the times in which we live.

So does SCO want me to send them a picture of $999, or do they want me to send them two $500 monopoly notes?
And if I give them the monopoly notes, they had better give me my $1 change!!

More like....
MS -> MD (-> MDCD) -> 32X - Saturn -> Dreamcast.
You can see why Sega's console business failed. 4 failed consoles in a row.
Did anyone else read it as: Japanese Goverment raided by Microsoft officers??
Then Lindows can sue Microsoft for trademark infringment.
