Actually, I work a Linux Network Manager job, and I support Solaris, Linux, and MS. MS only because some of the office folk would require more of my time if Linux is on their system (they can't deal with it). I do have the choice to put Linux on everyone's workstation and tell them that's what they must have. Don't tell me I don't have a choice. I make a lot more money because I support Linux and Unix. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
