Conversely, if a F100 company actually uses any open source software, given the moronic things in place (for example, the current place *must have* paid support for anything in production use, no matter _how_ small, for example, syslog-ng), it should be seen that it was implemented *IN SPITE* of corporate policies. This means that piece of software is that good, or the people implementing it were that good that they could push something like this through. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
