Journal ir0b0t's Journal: Linux Law Office
I've been wanting to do this for a long time: My office machine now runs Linux on its desktop. Its a Mandriva Linux installation. All of the apps are open source too.
The network has only two machines on it and two printers. The machine in the reception area is an XP Pro operating system and runs Quickbooks because I haven't found a viable open source substitute yet.
My machine runs Mandriva Linux with KDE and Open Office. All of my legal documents, forms, letters and so on are done with Open Office.
Future add-ons will include serving my files to the reception machine with Samba and using Evolution for my calendar.
I post to http://www.librelex.net/tiki-index.php/ with some other legal professionals who are interested in a full open source law office.
