No, I can't. They told me to do it. Sysadmining has made me much less
religous about OS. I just do what I'm told w/ the tools I'm given. Not
bad.

The sw was written under linux using free tools, etc. It was paid for by
govt (research) money. It's a win-win for everyone.

I didn't mean to say that I was superior in any way. I'm doing the best I
can just like windows sysadmins. I'm just telling other's experience,
YMMV.

All OSes need maintenance. I don't have any opinions on relative
stability, however b/c I don't use windows enough to have any opinions on
it at all. I just read advocacy and the advocates say that win2k is rock
solid. I believe them based on their experience.
> That leaves sales and training. Hmm.
Training, for me, in linux is a blast. The people here really want to
learn linux. Also, I'm writing some manuals which is great fun for me.

I feel that way sometimes. You can run windows at work, be stupid while
there, and go home and run linux. Or become a janitor if there are no
linux jobs. I plan on the latter.
> Who are the "other" people you work with who know Linux?
Everyone in my dept knows *nix. Everyone I work w/ is intelligent. I'm not
saying that a leads to b, but both are true for my job. I'm happy.
