I love Nicole's! :) I'm so glad to hear of a library using Linux! So far I've only seen libraries using open source software like Open Office, Gimp, Audacity, etc. behind the scenes and sometimes offering it to patrons. Every time I ask about Linux the IT people either blame it on their senior staff or do what Rob says they do when he asks. Maybe I should look into moving to Maryland... hmmm If there are more Linux using libraries out there please stand up! Hi Nicole! I love Nicole’s! :) I’m so glad to hear of a library using Linux!

I love the image of them running away. I'll always wonder this as long as it doesn't happen. Some IT people I've talked to have said it's often what they'd like to do, but the board or other staff want to keep Microsoft around because they like it... I use Microsoft, and I like it alright most of the time, but I also use Linux and I also like it most of the time. So, yeah, you know what I mean. Hahahaha… I love the image of them running away.

Ask an IT person why and they'll probably say, "We can get support for Microsoft products." Then, when you say that companies like Red Hat and Novell offer the same support for their products, the IT person will point as though something amazing is behind you, then run away when your back is turned.

Howard County Maryland is the first that comes to mind, their goal is go to completely open source.
