Due to my newly acquired status as an employee of the state (courtesy of the Microsoft Certified Partner "Line Manager: He favoured unconventional methods ... " ) I'm wondering if there are any others whose knowledge is being gainfully applied or not.
I wouldn't know which one to pick for that. Here at work I've got windows on the desktop, but develop applications for Linux and several other Unix platforms. Since the Microsoft licenses are getting out of hand they have considerd switching to linux on the desktop but they haven't gotten that far yet.
All our workstations are windows as its easier for staff to use ile confess although linux as a server is the best thing you can get as a workstation windows is easier to mannage
The server *that i use as my workstation lmao* is redhat
Gainfully employed then. I was just windering if there were many who had Linux at work but their knowledge was not being used, and how many people only used it at home. My ex-company hated Linux but there were some things they needed to do using Unix tools (or at least Cygwin), which they didn't like.
I'm not yet gainfully employed... I'm training to be a biology teacher, but sure, I use Linux on my home machine(s) and when I get a steady position in a school I will begin working on the tech staff to get at least a couple of Linux boxen for the kids to play with... that reminds me, I was going to look up the National Curriculum for ICT... thanks!
The company I worked for was making education systems for schools - keystages 2 and 3 content. They were originally going to go with Linux but then they became Microsoft Partners and their membership was ... well ... conditional.
They were thinking of porting their delphi(!) written app over to Kylix and I was helping them with that but I think they've ditched the idea alltogether with a bit of arm-twisting from the dark side.

Rep:
I am working in an environment where I administer two Windows servers and Windows 2000 workstations. I have configured and tested (successfully) Samba as a PDC (Redhat 7.2) but I cannot get them convinced to use it. It has been working great for the past two months so I am hoping to use it next semester.
