That is refreshing to hear. I really don't know why the ISP community at large is so anxious about Linux. It seems to me that the wise approach would be to embrace Linux albiet at a higher level of expectation of user cognition and capability. When a Linux user calls for help, treat 'em like we treat 'em here. Can you ping out? You don't know what ping is? Call us back when you do or switch to Windows. No molly-coddling for Linux users but no rejection either. I think Linux users would appreciate this approach. I guess the big concern for the ISP is getting themselves in the position of training and debugging 1001 different Linux configurations for users that are too lazy to learn on their own. Come to think of it, I'd want protection from those folks too :-). -- Mike Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
