@conference {678, title = {A tool to support the introduction of GNU/Linux desktop system in a professional environment}, booktitle = {OSS2006: Open Source Systems (IFIP 2.13)}, series = {IFIP International Federation for Information Processing}, year = {2006}, pages = {253 - 260}, publisher = {Springer}, organization = {Springer}, abstract = {The introduction of a GNU/Linux-based desktop system in a large company is often problematic, in terms of technical issues but especially for employees{\textquoteright} training costs. Mainly, these obstacles are represented by different hardware configurations that might require several ad-hoc activities to adapt a standard release to the specific environment, including company{\textquoteright}s application profile. On the other hand, GNU/Linux live distributions provide to the users{\textquoteright} community new and interesting capabilities, as self-configuration and better usability, but loosing compatibility with original distributions, that is unaffordable in professionals scenarios. DSS (Debased Scripts Set) is an answer to both questions. It is a live distribution that includes an unmodified Debian-based Linux release and a modular-designed file system. }, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-34226-5_25}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/A\%20tool\%20to\%20support\%20the\%20introduction.pdf}, author = {Di Cerbo, Francesco and Favara, Daniele and Scotto, Marco and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vernazza, Tullio} }
