Ahh... I lost a business deal with the government yesterday, and this

pro-windows,
and with my solution, they had to manage linux and the hardware, but not
the solution on top. With the competitor, they promised them that they'd
take care of everything and that they would never have to see a
terminal, and there was much rejoicing among the windows people.

We had two sites that used Linux on the servers although the workstations
were Windows. In both cases the administrator was a Linux fan. When they
left or moved up the ladder the servers were moved to Windows.
