Small Business Distribution

[Darryl Moore]

And I have three companies I support who all have various levels of
Linux integration. One of which is probably about 80% linux desktops.

All have expressed a willingness to move to a 100% Linux solution if a
reasonable solution were presented.

That is the solution I want to build. If I can give it to these
companies and they are happy, then I believe I can start selling it to
others too, using these three as references.

Security, cost, ease of use and maintainability, freedom from viruses
have all factored into their conclusions with linux. I just don't have a
system I can give to them..... yet.
