Have to agree here; Oracle's heavy presence in our office made Advanced Server the best option. The only linux machines not running AS are the web servers, which is just my personal preference (running 7.3).
As someone who has recently failed upward into IT management from being a grunt (programmer) at an insurance company, the biggest problem I have encountered is translating what the business people want into terms the staff understands. There is also the balancing act of blaming my predecessors for everything that has gone wrong while taking credit for all that is good. That is hard.
We set the long-term goals by our choices, such as choosing to purchase, or not to purchase, fossil-fuel driven cars. I hardly want the government (especially one led by a former Governor of Texas) setting energy policy in the U.S. for the next 1000 years.
