After that, ask yourselves "Is Linux ready for enterprise level deployment?" Linux is a boon for small and medium businesses. Ying Zhang has done a great job at documenting what is required to setup a e-commerce site.
Umm, an e-commerce site is not an enterprise. Most enterprises have nothing whatsoever to do with ecommerce. They need computer systems to run their accounting software, their HR software, etc. They have desktop users. Can all these systems be replaced?
You are right! I agree that e-commerce site is only a part of the infrastructure i.e. if the company decides to have a e-comm site. I was only trying to point out to the skepticals, that Linux could be used very effectively ($/Rs/E/Y wise) for an enterprise. The link I sent earlier shows how to setup up a e-comm server with Linux in no time.
My take on "Enterprise Linux": chapter 3 (probably) - Desktop environment
This will be the greatest challege and will take a while to iron them out. There are too many issues here. What daemons are allowed to run on the Linux Desktop? IPSec Setup and routing issues for the workstations. Configuration changes on Workstation by users. Software/Tools download controls
My .02 cents/euros/piasa or whatever.
