[brluglist] Linux at work

[Lee A. Perry]

I have been using Linux at client sites for years.  I slipped Linux in
without them knowing and have had great results.  I now can go thru the
front door because a lot of companies now see it as a source of pride.  They
are now "cutting edge" and willing to take a few risk.  If only they knew
about the previous years!
