Online Crm Software_Need advices
My current system follows:
AMD Athlon 1600+, 1 Gigabytes RAM, 40 Giga harddrive, GeForce 2 with
32 Mb, AC97 Onboard Audio Adaptor, D-Link DFE-538TX.
The system got follow applications:
W2K Workstation Professional runs very smooth right now.
Firefox 1.0 for most of the web surfing. IE occasionally but nessary
for some of the website I need to go to due to personally reason.
Thunderbird for me email and newsgroup reading.
VMWare to testing FreeBSD.
ACT! 2005 as a CRM software(personal organizor as well) but I'm trying
to move to a internet application via www.freecrm.com
OpenOffice currently runs in my system with MS Office removed.
Acrobat 5.0 for form editing(Occasionally)
MusicMatch for online radio (all the time)
Realplayer for DVD/Movie(Occasionally)
I have online conference calls using MS Media Player Plugin which is
very important for me.
Zonealarm as my firewall, Norton Antirus.
I'm using a home network connected to Rogers High Speed via DHCP
protocol, another machine is a XP laptop.
My job is in Marketing field so I do need the system to be robust and
more productivity. At the same time, I have the dream to play OS
around and hack into the system at my spare time. To be honest, I'm
pretty happy with my current system with all the feature I specified.
Is there anybody could point out a way to play FreeBSD around and at
the same time, I could perform my job easily? As I said, I need the
Media Player plug in a lot, and any suggestion for a CRM software
under BSD would be much appreciated.
I gotta be very careful to change a system.
I thank you for reading my nonsense post and hoping that if somebody
could give me some advice.
The hardware is more than ok for running recent versions of FreeBSD.
You shouldn't have problems, as far as the hardware is concerned.
The comments below refer to each of the software packages, applications or
services you currently use. It's probably a long reply -- too long for all of
it to be correct -- but, since it's always good news to find out that people
want to try using FreeBSD, let's hope I get most of it right
I recently switched to Firefox 1.x from Mozilla 1.7.x and all the sites I have
to visit work like a charm. There is one minor point that I miss from the
Mozilla menu (being able to zoom at specific percentage, i.e. 105%), but in
general the change seemed ok.
I'm not sure about `ACT! 2005', you'd have to ask the company that releases it
regarding availability of FreeBSD versions, but freecrm seems promising and
all it needs is a browser. That's cool.
