I noticed that CIO magazine's cover story this month looked like something about Open Source for PHBs, though I didn't get a chance to read it.

Definitely give the article a read-through to see what it actually says before pointing anyone at it, though. good times, Vineet > > -- > "It takes but one foe to breed a war, not two, and those who have not > swords can still die upon them." > - J.R.R.
