Ubuntu On The Business Desktop

Posted by Zonk on from the crafty-consultants-club dept.

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?"

    You're lucky you're not my colleague. Did you get any pats on your back and promoted for being so "vigilant" ? Look ma' what's his doin'...
