junkpc.jpg I was just uploading this pic of some junk computers that we threw out not too long ago. While I'm here I guess I can rant about work for a little while, now I know Linux is not the solution to every company's computer problems. I do think however that we could benefit from some linux desktops and a few open source packages throughout the company. Right now its just ridiculous, we have two computers on our desk, an HP-UX box and a windows box. Right there you can combine those into one great linux box because neither one of those alone is worth anything. The only problem that I see is that the Remedy client doesn't work on Linux, but there was a rumor that our network admin guy got it to work under Lindows. (Haven't confirmed that yet) If we could get linux I really think our productivity would go up very high, hey while we're at it...get rid of Remedy in favor of Request Tracker. We also have a program called AccessPlus that is crap, a web app needs to take its place very very quickly. Of course since I'm whining about it I better try to come up with a solution, so hopefully I can find one (or a few) that will work.
