Re:As a regular user of Notes at Work. (Score 2, Interesting)

I have been a user of Lotus Notes for 6.5 years. It is not that bad. I am currently working at IBM and running Ubuntu 7.10 Thinkpads (T61 and T42). IBM official standard Linux workstation client is Red Hat based. But IBM has a few projects to enable users to run Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. These Standard clients contain almost all the required software to do your work at IBM. some including Lotus Notes 8. Anything else can be covered by running VMware with Windows XP. I have been running a Ubuntu client since September last year. and I can say that the support is getting better with every release To all those who do not like Lotus notes. This announcement by IBM is a very good thing. There are many companies who run Lotus notes and this gives all those users another choice of a Linux based desktop with official support. I hope i see many more of these types of stories and that more companies may go down the Linux path.
