Hello Julian, I can take a look of something which i used in past but is mostly alternatives on workstation level for public administration (cos I'm solving such issues in European Commisssion) the use of open standards such as ODF and PDF/A which is the *MOST* discussed issue within the European Union. Workstation use of Linux and Server running BSD, explanation of why apache foundation was and is so sucessfull and so on.. Hopefully I have it with me, if not You must wait until I come back home to Slovakia and check my workstation at home. Jan ps: anyway, it's better to prepare something yourself and you can use mine as inspiration (or copy/paste even:) On 11/27/06, Julian Stacey <jhs@berklix.org> wrote: > Anyone know of a pre- ready presentation for Alternatives To Microsoft ? > > I've been asked to give a presentation (in English) to a bunch of > engineers in Munich end of Jan 2007.
