Linux at Law

In 2004, after 23 years as a senior litigator in a midsize law office, I decided to open my own firm and run it with entirely free and open source software. FOSS is free from licensing fees, free to modify and customize it to your law practice and "open" in the sense that the software is neither weighed down with proprietary code nor confined by a one-size-fits-all modus operandi.

Interesting read.

You telling me!. I would be happy to hire someone with that sort of vision.

I am just restricted by one or two vendors that are as in love with MS as those fanboys in the latest MS vs. Linux thread. But don't have to dual-boot thanks to VBox!

Hey Bismuth - are you running Linux as your host OS?

I'm running winders in a vbox session

Gives me peace of mind

You bet!

Gives me HUGE peace of mind running Windows in VB, if it gets hosed by a virus, or for any reason, just replace it with a shiney new .vdi!. And it works seamlessy on the network at work, you wouldn't know it's NOT a native version of Windows running.
