I am working on a couple of small new things right now, but the one that actually interests me the the most at the moment is the conversion of a couple friends to Linux from Windows. This started with my wife's Windows computer going belly-up, and all I had was an old Dell with Ubuntu on it that I was playing around with.
I gave it to her to use, and she didn't complain. So I left it there. She uses Open Office Writer and Calc with no problem. She used Firefox on Windows, so that's no big deal. She barely notices the lack of an Exchange server now that she has migrated from Outlook to Evolution .
And believe me, I feel pretty silly now that I have my own private Exchange server. (At least she still uses the Windows file services there, and the HP network printer was no problem either.)
Now I am working with my friend Brenda long distance to get her computer in VA up and running, and connected to DirectWay, Hughes Net's residential offering. I'll let you know how that works out.
