Somehow, I can't see anybody else being in the same situation. This is not about the few bugs missed here-and-there. This is about the years of blatant lack of responsibility. MS have made some very irresponsible decisions from the product design point of view. They have also acted very irresponsibly in numerous occasions when they needed months to even acknowledge vulnerabilities, let alone release the fixes for them. All in the name of almighty $.
For Linux you're stuck with walking around with CDs, or using some kludge from sourceforge, or a less-well-tested solution like whatever redhat uses.
Someone already pointed this out but not only that Red Hat has kickstart install as an option here - I must add that kickstart actually kicks ass. On a decent network, even more so - install is considerably faster than from a CD.
Apart from that, Red Hat may very well be a system of your choice for this lab - both server and desktop are good products, you can utilise RH Network for quickly applying patches and there's many resources available to get the help if you need it.
Linux will give you much more flexibility - no matter what distro you actually chose - both software and hardware wise come the upgrade times.
There are very, very few companies that contributed to Linux and open source in general as much as Red Hat did during last decade. In code, money, advocacy and jobs.
You suck. So does moderator(s) who think(s) every post that contains ??? is funny.
I want to be able to sue that bitch from Marketing department in different country (same company, though) every time she sends email to 'All Exchange Users' list, letting us know that she's got a headache and will be leaving a bit early today.
Not quite true. My company buys from Dell and we get to chose OS (not necesarry Windows) or blank HDD if we want to. Granted, we buy hundreds of machines every 3 years, maybe that's why.
offering financial incentives for these organisations not to switch over to open source...
Know what? Those incentives are more likely offered to individuals. In an organisation, 2 or 3 people (CEO, CFO, CIO) are making decisions - it's lot cheaper to pay them than the organisation. The effect is exactly the same.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder how many of these people have slashdot userID_s...
There's the whole point. Nothing was their's. They stole everything.
Is this your genuine opinion or perhaps you're just trolling us all? Whatever the answer, welcome to my foes list.

Your country's name is AMERICA, wich makes you American, not Amreican. Even if you're geography-challenged :oP
'scuse me, are you talking about Linus or Bill? You got me lost here.

++ proved to be used more often in many cases. However, key's functionality deteriorated over time and it was mostly replaced with `reset` button.
Particularly so if this invention finds use in a toilet paper factory in Utah.
Why don't you just buy this one and use it on your forehead?
Why is it then that ALL reecently infected systems were Windows based?
Try Ctrl+Alt+F2. Replace F2 with F5 to get back to GUI screen.

What do yo mean???

Thanks for the tip. I also included cron job to check fly status and unzip if necessary :o)
Too much 'hard'ware, my friend. Mine is just swap but with the --grow flag. That wy I handle most requirements on the fly.
Man, do you create sigs to match your posts?
What a load of crap. I'm not sure what your problem is but adding you to the list of my foes some time ago was a good move.
Looks like he's here maybe a bit longer than you.

Man, bloody thing would explode if all these were included. Can you imagine the length of the critical updates list?
