Re: [Lilux-info] Fwd: Postini Transaction Report for Plan-Net s.a.

by Brent Frere

Excel is a proprietary, secret format specific to a given software, a given vendor, a given operating system. It's exactly the point of my mail. Please *_READ IT_*. Professional companies (as Nortel, AT&T, Cisco, Google, Sun Microsystems, ...) only use standard formats. Excel *IS NOT A STANDARD FORMAT*. I don't use neither Microsoft operating systems, neither Ms-Office suite. I have no reasons to switch from a modern efficient software suite that respects the published ISO standards (as ASCII, OpenDocument, HTML, CSV, ...) to fall into an expensive, unsafe and inefficient system as Ms-Office on Windows just to be able to read your mails. Exchanging informations requires a common standard, and MS-Office file format is not standardised, neither even published, and consequently not interoperable. I can't do anything with a Ms-Office Excel file, exactly as you probably couldn't do anything if I sent you an AutoCAD 2008 file. Norna Cash a écrit : > Here is an Excel version.

Windows2Linux migration for a Luxembourg PSF

by giopas

Hi *, I'd like to know if someone here around has already implemented linux as client and server o.s. and other open software (openoffice, evolution and so on) for a Luxembourg PSF. In fact, I'd really like to slowly make my (financial and accountant) company switching from closed source to FOSS, but I'm concerned about the absence of support and professional outsourced maintenance. Do you know any IT Luxembourg company able to plan and insure maintenance of a small and quite simple IT platform? At the present we use - for ordinary work - just Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Exchange 2007, active directory and a tunnelled VNC from remote. Another little proprietary client-software could be at last be virtualized. In your opinion, for example, is it now possible to easily and in a "more than effective way" migrate from Microsoft Exchange to an analog free mail server (with shared calendar, tasks, appointments, requests, etc..)? I'd really like to have a feedback from you. enjoy, ;) giopas
