No, I'm not a troll. The fact that I hit a nerve is entirely coincidental, believe me. I'm being labelled a troll because my position is not popular, that's all, and you can't make that less true merely by being profane, although there are probably more then a few fifteen year olds who will think you're some kind of a tough guy for doing so. So, if that's what you were looking for, kudos to you. I have been involved in choosing corporate computers and systems, so I'm not entirely ignorant of the general process, for what that's worth (which is not much in my opinion, but better then nothing.) Your'e right about the specific use of those machines, I don't know what they were used for specifically, but I find it really hard to believe that there is something incredibly unique about a privatized version of a free unix that wouldn't be rather common.
