[Linux-disciples] Re: need pithy fodder

Do they have a location with a high speed connection already? Where is
the server going to be located? Is it important that it be located in any
particular place? Is the server just going to be an email server? Or also
mailing lists?

Do they already have Windows tech admin people on staff? If the don't
have system admins on staff, then they're going to need to support either
way; and you can certainly find Linux or Windows support within 100 miles
of any square inch of this country (setting aside ANWR and perhaps parts
of the Dakotas).

With a few more details we could probably make some solid
recommendations/referrals.
