This is a project to build a repository of information and guidance on the introduction of Ubuntu/Linux in the UK workplace/enterprise.
Hopefully this information will serve as a resource for promoting Ubuntu/Linux to users with a vested interest in deploying a tested and stable product. Giving reliable and solid info should help market and promote Linux.
