[LUG] What Ricks been doing.



Hello again all you LUGGERS

Sorry i haven't been active on the list in recent months. In the main this has been due to my uglyrock address becoming defunct. I have resubscribed under my new address.

Looking back to the Migration of Super Tramp to 99% Linux. Describing this as a Successful project would be to hugely understate it. It has proved itself to be totally reliable, unbelievably cost effective and has taken our business IT systems to a new level. Today I was looking at the desks of our sales staff. The most amazing transition has taken place. Their desks used to have loads of paper and bits and bobs on them note pads and the such like . Each of the desks was populated by a Linux Thin Client and that was it. I believe Microsoft had the idea of the paperless office, I find it both humorous and delightful that it took Linux and OS software to achieve that dream.

This success prompted Chris Prentis to consider another possibility.

Why not do the same thing for other businesses in the South West.

Well that is what I have been doing. I would like to introduce you to http://www.sttechnology.co.uk

ST Technology (Super Tramp Technology or Straight Talking Technology) is a company with 5 Staff. We specialise in supporting and assisting businesses to benefit from Linux and Open Source Software. You can find out more about us at our Website.

We have made some really interesting developments including development of our own Thin Clients ( Hardware and Software) These show massive improvements over the Axels we were using. Offering 65536 colours, Zero network Lag and much lower server overhead. Ontop of that they are more cost effective.

Best of all though we our Open Source and License Free !

I look forward to contributing more on this List in the future.

Best wishes to you all, See you at the next LUG Meet

Regards Rick
