Anything that gets M$ out of my life is okay with me.
The notion of FreeBSD users and Linux users bashing (not the GNU shell) each other seems to me to be as stupid and unproductive as Gnome and KDE users bashing each other...the real enemy is in Redmond!
Why do you have to "justify" using Gnome? Install both, and let the users choose which ever they like. The two desktop environments can reside on the same machine, without there being any dichotomy.
I use predominatly use Gnome 1.2, and like it very much, but I also have KDE 2 installed, and run many of ts apps - from Gnome. I get the best of both, and that puts me ahead of where M$ would like me to be. Compared to the crap that I had to deal with on NT, I am thrilled with my current configuration.
I must be a fluke. I have one system running HP-UX 10.20 and have had no problems. But as HP obseletes ITO (the reason for this servers existance) on this rev of the OS and I am forced to go to HP-UX 11.xx then I'll probalby find out what you people are taking about

Actually, the Win2k portion of that box is not yours, and you are not permitted to "hack" it...read your license agreement

In short pure bullshit, not even FUD.
I have been running linux on my Compaq presario laptop for over two years. Started with Red Hat 5.2, and currently running Mandrake 7.2. I have with one exception never had a problem with the install detecting the hardware and installing the correct drivers. The exception was the win(lose)modem; but then Lucent released a driver, and now that works fine, and in the interm I was able to use a PCMCIA modem - totally without issue.

Yes Mircosoft, thanks to Gnome and KDE Linux is kicking you off the corporate desktop as well the servers...
