Yes, very true. I can certainly agree with Frank Hale's comment that W2K
is nearly everywhere in the Army.  And, just like Tanner said, there are
pockets of Linux users here and there.  The Army guys in Korea areas III
and IV even had a LUG going (albeit a small one).  

Now that RH is COE certified I will be including it as an option in my
proposals where appropriate.  I'm certainly not going to march into some
colonel's office and demand, or even hint, that he should start to rip
out W2K on the desktop and replace it with Linux, of course.  

That said there are ares and projects where an official install of Linux
would be very helpful and I'm glad someone at RH decided to go after
this certification.

By the way - is managing a RH Adv. Server anything like managing a RH
8.0 box?  Is chkconfig in there?  Or is Adv. Sever a totally different
animal from 8.0 (and 7.x)?
