The really ironic thing I'm finding about OS vs. commercial is that the
commercial stuff is usually better career-wise for the admins.

The upper management could really shave off some cost savings by using
linux, but they don't really get it. The admins can guarantee more jobs
for themselves and their friends if they push the commercial stuff b/c the
department budget gets cut if it isn't all spent, and it's easier to
justify more jobs on the commercial side as well. However, most of the
linux advocates seem to be those who's jobs would be threatened if linux
really caught on.

Kind of funny; I think. :)
