The company I work for is at a crossroads for deciding whether to migrate to FOSS. These kinds of success stories help alleviate any fears I have. Martyn, I hope you told Dell what you planned to do with those servers (putting Ubuntu on them). Because as they see more customer demand they will start selling Ubuntu servers as a product. And this would help Canonical a lot! Regards, Socceroos Very encouraging to hear! The company I work for is at a crossroads for deciding whether to migrate to FOSS.

Martyn Alan,
