WILL LINDOWS BE POPULAR?
by Lorraine Renard
 
I have a question for anyone who would like to respond. What
do you think the demand for Lindows is going to be in the 
future? Is this OS one that we need to be concerned with?

Please respond to this question by replying to this message
and we'll forward your reply to Lorraine.


OPERA SECURITY

Opera is a multiplatform Web browser that runs on Windows,
Linux, Mac, and other operating systems. Opera version 7 
was released last week and there were 5 security issues
published this morning. The following URLs describe the
problems.

OSS IN OREGON
by Ken Barber

I have just been informed by an Open-Source-friendly
legislator that there MIGHT be a committee hearing coming
up at the state legislature that will affect the State of
Oregon's ability to deploy Open-Source software.

We are looking for credible people who can go to Salem on
fairly short notice to give testimony about how much money
they have saved their organization(s) by switching to Open
Source. Since Microsoft's newest FUD is along the lines of
"Open Source is more expensive to administer", we're going
to be especially interested in hearing from people who found
Open Source products less costly (presumably in terms of
employee time) to administer and maintain than what the State
is currently using (mostly Windows NT/2000 with some XP).

If you are able and willing to help with this effort, please
contact me, Ken Barber, at a special email address I've set
up for this effort:
