Bringing a Linux box to Work - Part 2
Part 2 in the series of articles that details my experiences in using a Linux box in a Microsoft enviroment.
Day 1
On Monday morning, I packed up my spare PC with a freshly installed copy of PCLinuxOS MiniMe 0.93, put it in the car, and took it to work with me.
For those of you that have not read Part 1 of this article series, my goal is find out if I can manage to use a Linux workstation in our Microsoft-based office.
I pre-loaded the machine with a whole slew of software that I thought I would need. I have been using Linux at home for many years, so I am familiar with many of the Linux compatible alternatives.
Biggest Unknown Factors:
Evolution's ability to function with our Exchange server.
Once I booted the machine, and confirmed that I had an IP, I began to configure a mail account in Evolution.
