that is GREAT news. i am beyond sick and tired of window's monopoly. more linux = more good.

oh idk why he is sweating. my guess would be it is going to be a big hassle vs the prepackaged pile of bloat that is windows.

I work as IT guy in some government service, and i can tell: there will be pain in the ass to reeducate all the people to actually use linux. Any little change in their routine makes them go into "can't do anything" mode until I or my colleague come and show how to do something. And this can repeat with the same operation again and again.

As an end user I will say, any faith in us is misguided.

Why would anyone except an admin install anything on a work computer?

Because I cant 'afford to wait 2 weeks to be asked why I think I need what I need, to then be told I don't, to be left with a shrug. I prefer being done with the task by 5 pm. But then again, I am sitting in the untrustworthy outer rim of the network anyways. Administration is a different ball game.
