What are the best practices in coming "to know someone who can get you a job"?
Go outside. Meet new people. Make friends. Participate in society (join a kickball team, play pool down at the bar, join a bowling league, go dancing...).
Most people don't care about crap like that. They want to be able to use email, surf the web and play games. Having the source code is something that 99.9% of users couldn't care less about.
I shudder to think we could be starting a meme here,
It already is (or was) a meme. I think it originated on 4chan. A long time ago. Makes sense that Slashdot is just now seeing it, seeing as how Slashdot usually is about a year behind the times as far as these things go.
The servers were all either Win2k workstations set up to run as "servers" or old 200MHz servers running Netware 4.11 with Groupwise.
They had no money to upgrade and the infrastructure was in really bad shape. I took some of the better workstations, loaded them up with salvaged RAM and hard drives and installed CentOS on them. All the servers did was file sharing (via samba) and DHCP. The schools web hosting ISP provided free POP/IMAP accounts so we got off Groupwise and used Thunderbird for their email. The whole setup was very very simple and when I quit, I left very detailed and simple to follow instructions on how to manage and maintain things.
Within a year they called me absolutely desperate because they were having issues (from what it sounded like, possible hardware issues, and some permission issues with samba). I pointed them to various resources where they could get help but in the end they paid some consultant to come in and replace everything with a Windows server running Exchange because they simply could not find anyone to help them with their Linux issues for the prices that they could afford.

Right. I heard some woman talking about how sexist society is and how "If breast cancer was a male problem, it would have been cured by now." She convienently ignores the fact that plenty of men die of prostate cancer and yet it isn't cured either.
It is COLOUR good SIRs!
Contrary to your DIALOGUE and ARGUEMENT (though you may CRITICISE), the only HONOURABLE thing to do is admit that the U.S.A. is not the CENTRE of the world.;)
Where do you come up with that wierd assed capitalization for SUSE? I know that it was originally written SuSE (Software und System Entwicklung) and now it is written SUSE, but it was never written SuSe. Where do you people come up with this stuff? It is like all those slashbots who write OS X as OS/X. Why?

No your an idiot. Dell sells 2.40GHz systems running Windows XP with 17 inch monitors for $299.00. Apple should be able to do something similar. Even if in the short term they only broke even and didn't make a profit, in the long term it would introduce a lot more people to Macs and do a lot to increase their userbase.
you can put Linux on it for free, but you're not getting nearly the user experience you get with a Mac.
Some of us would consider that a good thing! Running Slackware 10.1 with Fluxbox here and I couldn't be happier. We have a handful of Macs at work and I dread having to use them. OSX suffers from even more chrome and stupid gimmicky visual crap than the default dreaded WinXP desktop.
If Macs float your boat then more power to you but realize that for some of us Macs just make us cringe.

My kid brother can aforde a mac mini on lunch money...
Exactly how much money does your brother get for lunch? And I would argue that a mac mini is way overpriced for what you actually get. They should be selling them for $199.00 as is or $299.00 w/ keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers.
If all the ISP's in my area get together to crack down on zombie machines that are being used as spam relays then how is that "government" not local groups?

Hurricane78, it is people like you that make people loathe Linux geeks.

A small specialized organization can do its job much better than a large all encompassing bureaucratic organization.
Overall. K-8 IT is a mess. And Windows is in no small degree responsible. But switching to open source probably won't solve the problem(s).
Yes it is. I worked in public school IT for one year. Never again.

was DNA preserved?
RTFA. They haven't found any DNA and said that scientists don't believe that DNA can last 7 million years so they don't expect to find any.

Dude. Your keyboard is totally broken.
You don't know what you are talking about. A graphic novel is usually a comic but a comic is not always a graphic novel.
SuSe ?

It is like all those slashbots who write OS X as OS/X. Why?
BSD has been dead for years you slug-fisting cunt-felcher.
Although I am still on the fence about the whole slug-fisting fad, I am wondering what exactly is wrong with cunt-felching?
Another lefty with a serious BDS case. Real election stealing was done by Demoscums in Washington state.
Demoscums? I bet you also spell Microsoft Microsloth or something equally as clever.
