This is more of a report that either a question or an answer. Fairly long.
I got my employer to let me bring a linux box to work to use (Suse 7.3 Kde
2.2, 950 AMD 128 megs ram) . I have been using linux at home for 1.5 years
off and on, but this is new for me as at home I can do what ever I want and
at work, I have tasks assigned to me that must get done in a timley manner in
the way the "boss" wants. I am pleased to report that linux has met the
challange and in fact in some ways is easier and more versitile than the
other OS I've been forced to use.
I have to have word processing and spread sheet available, for which I am
using open office 1.0. I am using Opera for a browser, but I think I will
change to Mozilla. Konquerer doesn't seem to work on one of out internal
sites.
One problem with opera though is that I have several groups of tasks. Each
group requires several programs, including at times 3 or 4 browser windows. I
can use virtual desktops to segregate the task groupings, which has worked
out well, but opera presents a problem as all the opera windows are opening
in the same window. If I used Mozilla, could I open a Mozilla session in a
virtual window and then keeping that session there, open 1 or more sessions
in another window?
Enough rambling for now. If there is any interest I'll keep up the reports of
using linux as a desktop in the workplace.
