During the business work day, I am on a Windows machine since it is a corporate policy. That said, I sense that change is in the air since there is a growing corporate interest to play in all ecosystems (iOS, Android, Windows). This is pretty exciting for me. I am somewhat rusty in my Linux knowledge. I want be an "odd man out" inside the campus to show vividly how to play on two operating systems -- Windows & Ubuntu. Let's call that "leading by example" at the ground level. That said IT Help Desk does not officially support Linux. I've also noticed that when I attempt to install Ubuntu on top of Virtual Box in my corporate laptop, some of the default config settings change and I am not able to connect to the corporate network. To keep things simple, I have decided to get a personal laptop where I can run Ubuntu in the cloud and explore the "apt-get" ecosystem of productivity apps :-). Is that feasible? Thanks for any guiding pointers. The underlying question that prompted me to reach out to the collective wisdom of this forum: * How does one begin to "love Linux" where there was officially "no love" in the past within the organization due to market forces? Crossing the chasm to achieve critical mass of "I love Linux" adopters requires persistence and goes beyond a press release.
