well then!

So, the project that I spent my first year at Doolin working on, and which has been on hiatus for a few months - migrating large chunks of a Windows network to Samba on Linux - is officially dead. The company in question is migrating everything to either 2K or 2K3 by the end of February. Not out of lack of performance or stability from the Linux end, either, but simply because (a) the company has no in-house Linux people other than the guy we've put there on long-term loan, and (b) a new director insists that Windows is the Way Of The Future.

I'm glad to see the end of the project, but sad that it happened this way.
