Yup, I first got into Linux in September 2000 on my own time. I moved ny
personal corperate desktop to Linux in January 2001 once I had found all the
necessary replacement applications. Since that point, we have moved all
desktops, laptops and servers (excluding our loyal HP3000's of course) to
Linux. We've been completely M$ free for 2 months now and it's been smooth.
Obviously there is some learning curve involved for users but nothing
unexpected arised.

We use KDE2 (I use KDE3 now) on the desktop, Kmail for email, Konqueor and
Galeon for web browsing, OpenOffice for Word Processing and Spreadsheets,
Minisoft under Wine and xhpterm for terminal emulation, Adobe Acrobat for
PDF's. We use KDE & CUPS for all our network printing, Samba for file
sharing. On the servers we use Apache, PHP, PostgreSQL, Samba, Exim, SSH and
CVS. I wrote a Command File on our 3000's that lets use keep all our Cobol
source in cvs now. Web browser is used to browse CVS. That's all I can think
of right now but if there's any area you have questions in, let me know.
