Terminating contracts with IT vendors

What is going on these days ? In the last week I have entered into projects with two separate customers who have been terrorized (the customer's wording, in one case) by their existing IT vendor, and want to find a new provider who won't attack them...

PDF OCR Capabilities...

From: Planet PDF A couple of key points here. First, this discussion applies only to Acrobat, not to Reader.

Ubuntu Linux as a Windows Server replacement...

I have recently setup a Linux server to begin serving a small (12 users) legal firm that had Windows Small Business Server 2003 running. The issue was that they were not doing anything special, just FILE SERVING, and so a Linux/SAMBA solution would get them away from needing anything in the way of a proprietary server... So I took a good look at the config details, crossed my fingers and went ...
