[OS:N:] OSS where I work/learn

["Patrick Cable II" <pc pcable net>]

Hi list,

    A while ago i asked about exchange replacements. Well, they ended up
going with exchange. So, by the end of summer, my qmail/vpopmail server goes
to the bitbucket :-\ But the web will stay on the machine I set up.
    I tried to get them to use Asterisk for the VoIP but they're spending
big bucks on Cisco stuff.
    Usually when I suggest OSS stuff i get "You and your Open Source
stuff... it's so much easier when you can just blame a software company when
it doesnt work." I get the impression that the person I work with doesn't
take it too seriously. Maybe it's because a high school student is
recommending it to him, but, i also have a job with one of the other schools
in the same district, so i must be doing *something* right, hah.
    I'm not quite sure if i had a point with this note, but rather to vent
some frustration to a list that probably shares it at times.
