[TriLUG] Vista

[Jim Tuttle]

That's one reason I love working at NCSU Libraries- they let me order my
own computer and install my own OS.  A few of us are running Ubuntu, one
is running FreeBSD, and one is running (horror) Solaris 8.  A lot of us
are running OSX with the majority on Windows XP.

That's now one of my questions when I interview- what's your desktop OS
policy?  I want root.
