CommentsHas your organization migrated a key part of your IT infrastructure to Linux or an open source application? Share your success story with Linux.com readers.
We like case studies of migration or implementation issues of enterprise scope. We're not looking for stories from individuals who've migrated to a Linux desktop.
Try to cover why you wanted to move away from your existing software, what alternatives you considered, why you picked the application you chose, what kinds of implementation problems you had and how you solved them, how things are going now, any cost-benefit or ROI numbers you can cite, and any recommendations you have for others who might be considering something similar. Include illustrative details that other organizations could benefit from.
Want a good example? Check out our article on Switching art students to GNU/Linux.
Ask us if we can use the story you have in mind before you spend time writing. If we give the go-ahead, see this page for more writing tips and an article template document. If we accept your story, we'll pay you $100 for it.

Used old PCs that were headed for recycle bin...? Ubuntu Studio Clustering, anyone?
Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 74.76.38.87] on August 25, 2007 03:12 PM
Did the same - used old PCs that were headed for recycle bin, they have been working find for 2 years.
The only thing missing with Ubuntu Studio - is the ability to have it sense other PCs on a network, auto network to them, do clustering, and LTSP at the same time. The video production feature of Ubuntu Studio (less Cinelerra, why it was not included is confusing) would benefit from a clustering built-in feature.

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 75.68.204.188] on August 25, 2007 11:56 AMK12LTSP.org software to 11 computers for "Staff use only" for Email, IM, Photo managment, word processing, spreadsheet.
Using VMWare we can use one computer, with 2-4 Gig of RAM, SATA Raid 1 from the Intel Entry Level Motherboard, and run two installs of K12LTSP.org software (one for the Staff to use, and one for the Office to use for email and internet uses).
Accounting is done with Quickbooks on our only Windows Computer that is a standalone system that never touches the internet (not ever, no way, no wires to do this, all the Windows NIC ports have been turned off to any TCP/IP 100%. TCP/IP has been shutdown completely for this computer (we need Quickbooks because of the integrated Payroll module, as Quick books keeps the payroll updated on a regular basis and sends us the CD with the updates that are installed via the CD ROM drive (never will do the updates ever over the web). No virus problems at all on this machine (USB ports are shut down so no one can accidently attach a device that is infected, and it is kept locked up with any access to the CD/DVD writer in a case that has a lockable front).
Also used...
Edubuntu (and Ubuntu Studio) for a "digial photo lab" that we had set up as a children's activity. On average the kids take about 7,000 photos per summer (might be higher this year as we have not counted yet).
Since the program runs for only 3 months of the year... Microsoft software would cost about 10-12,000 dollars US and we can't afford this type of money for such little use.
Linux has saved the day.
