Prospective buyers could include Dell, IBM or Hewlett-Packard. Computer sales of rival companies have been outpacing sales of Sun's machines.

    You have a point. Marketing is the most important thing with management. In regards to linux though, it has more marketing now than it ever had- ever.

    Look on Gartner Group, CNET, CNN, FOXNEWS, Wired, etc on any particular day. You will see Linux staring back at you. Linux has been proven. It's not another bitch like Sun. It's a fucking vampire, and Microsoft is the main course. This is the new reality. Linux's resilience keeps putting it back in the news. While other vendor's float by face down, linux will remain- and manager's understand this now.

    Lets agree to disagree on this one. I'm lucky enough to be in the position to make this happen where I am. And I am making it happen. Although I'm not the only one.
