At the risk of getting told to take this question elsewhere.... I am a network manager for a small government. Right now, we are using Novell NetWare for our networking needs, but we are getting ready to try an open-source solution. The costs of software acquisition and maintenance has gotten high, and I am hoping that a migration to something open-source will help us stop the money-bleed. How many of you have migrated from something closed-source and proprietary to something like FreeBSD or linux? What problems did you run into? How did users react to the change? I guess most importantly, was it cost effective? Thank you in advance for your opinions and time, and if this question is inappropriate for this list, please accept my apologies.
