The Institution I work for is part of the Government, one of the projects we held here is called "InfoPlazas" (roughly translated to InfoPlaces) basically this are free "computers cafes", right now they are running on M$ so it is costly and cumbersome to manage. I want to change that to a full Linux environment including linux routers with frame relay cards. I will find lot of resistance from M$ Agents (excuse my sarcasm here) working in SENACYT (the institution), one of their main arguments is that there is not too many prepared Linux Users here so, an interesting project will be to install a Red Hat Training Center here (is that possible? we have the infrastructure, we have former experiences with Sun Microsystems, etc; any requirements?). ___________________________________ Juan Carlo MejÃa Administrador de Sistemas UNIX Coordinador de Servicios de Internet SENACYT Panamá Tel: (507) 317.00.14 Email: [email protected]
