Ask Sethdot: Best Linux for a large department
Ask Sethdot Posted by Seth on Thursday December 20, @06:59AM
from the ask-a-stupid-question dept.
qluless asks: "I have just started a new job at a company with about a hundred desktop UNIX clients. The problem is, however, that we are running every UNIX flavor that there is under the sun -- Solaris, IRIX, Tru64, and a few distributions of Linux. This is really a support nightmare, but thankfully the company just received a big grant to replace all machines with nice Athlon boxes. I have decided that for the sake of my time we are going to install one Linux distribution on all machines, so I am currently deciding which distribution would be the best solution for this problem. I hear really good things about Slackware's stability and ease of administration, so that is currently my number one choice. Anyone can give me any pointers?"

WYSIWYG Editors versus Markup Editors
RobBrown Posted by RobBrown on Thursday December 20, @08:09PM
from the what-you-read-is-what-you-need-to-know dept.
First, I've used word processors (WYSIWYG and otherwise) from Wordstar on. I used one of the first "true" WYSIWYG PC editors capable of doing math and equations (T3). I've used most of the versions of Word (starting with what I think was version 1) in passing at least, Word Perfect, and around a half dozen others in various incarnations (PC-Write -- anybody remember that? StarOffice, Abiword, Applixware and a couple of PC transients whose name I can no longer recall).
