My company is on the verge of doing just that. We have managed to get Linux running everything that used to be MS controlled and with just a few wrinkles left to iron out we could be M$ free within 18 months...but more likely 36 due to budgeting issues.

[/QUOTE]Good luck! I'd be interested to hear how you get on!
