Linux desktops in the Office?
-
Dreaming here... Office of 120 gets to switch to Linux for their desktops...
What do you use?
Mint?
Debian?
Ubuntu? (probably not)
...or maybe not even in that tree? Majaro? Red Hat Desktop?
Something else? -
@BBigford Mint. We did it! (Only 7 users tho.)

I saw in an older post of yours I believe, you are using Samba4 for your file share, no central directory. Right?

Right.
What are you doing for email?

Considering the hack Mint suffered recently - I've seen reports that indicate they aren't doing that great of a job securing their distro.
Can anyone attest to that one way or the other?

Good choices generally are...
- Mint
- OpenSuse Tumbleweed
- Fedora
In that order. Zorin is supposed to be really good, too.

Are you talking about their site getting compromised?

Mint hack? I've heard of a number of security problems with open source things, but completely missed the Mint one. Got any handy reference?

I've heard great things about Zorin. Have yet to jump on and try it though.

Yeah I saw that one. Compromised the site then uploaded the hacked ISO. Yeesh.

It wasn't an OS issue. It was just a download issue.
