The I T manager over here wants us to convert 1 branch in our company from Win98 to Linux
Bold move, have you had anyone resouce this? It's not exactly a small task.
I would just like to know the types of problems that we will have once this is done.
One I can think of is re-educating everyone to a new platform.
Does Linux come with a Office package or can you download or do you have to pay for it.
( Office - something like MS word, Excel etc... )
There's StarOffice with is very similar to the MS Office applications.
Haven't used it myself just yet.
Does Linux come with it's own Mail program or can you download or do you have to pay for it.
( mail program - something like Outlook Express )
What happens if somebody mails you a doc from Win98 would you still be able to read if on the Linux PC.
Sorry, know little in that regard.
Best of luck to you though.

archpath
ARCHPATH(1) General Commands Manual ARCHPATH(1)
NAME
archpath - output arch (tla/Bazaar) archive names, with support for branches
SYNOPSIS
archpath
archpath branch
archpath branch--version
DESCRIPTION
archpath is intended to be run in an arch (tla or Bazaar) working copy.
In its simplest usage, archpath with no parameters outputs the package name (archive/category--branch--version) associated with the working
copy.
If a parameter is given, it may either be a branch--version, in which case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category, or a plain branch name (without '--"), in which case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current
archive and category and with the same version as the current working copy.
This is useful for branching. For example, if you're using Bazaar and you want to create a branch for a new feature, you might use a com-
mand like this:
baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath new-feature)
Or if you want to tag your current code onto a 'releases' branch as version 1.0, you might use a command like this:
baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath releases--1.0)
That's much easier than using 'baz tree-version' to look up the package name and manually modifying the result.
