Ubuntu On The Business Desktop

rchapman wrote to mention a Mad Penguin story about a consultant who installed Ubuntu on his work PC, and managed to use it for over a month before his boss even noticed. From the article: "This is not a typical review, because you've read enough of those. Instead, lets pretend I'm a typical worker, who just happens to have a soft spot for Open Source software. I want to use Linux, but I have a job to do. The price of Freedom should not be my salary. I don't have time to fiddle, all I care is whether or not it can do what I want, right now. So what do I want out of my system?"

I have a new laptop arriving at my office today (rather than have it delivered to my apartment steps where some shiftless hippie layabout can gank it), and I'm planning on running Ubuntu nearly fulltime (with the occasional venture into Windows to run Civ 3 and Civ 4). Given all the shit with my Windows laptop here, I may just try to make the fulltime switch.
