Winemaker Drinks To Linux

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the i'll-drink-to-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Australian winemaker De Bortoli is a firm believer in Linux. CIO Bill Robertson says he's 'bemused by any notion that Linux is poorly supported in the enterprise since he has never had any trouble finding support for De Bortoli's open-source systems', and says that those IT managers having trouble simply 'aren't looking hard enough.' There are also some other good case studies here -- telecommuncations provider TransACT, online hotel booking service Wotif, engineering contractor Coates and investment and funds management group Aviva."

    Cue the wine jokes...

    Does his wine run linux? Imagine a beowulf cluster of linux wine bottles.

    Does he offer wine packages for many distributions?

    Will his wine run Internet Explorer in Linux?

    Homer: Every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course and I forgot how to drive?

    Marge: Homer, you were drunk!

    Homer: And how!
