Hi everybody

Thankx all for sharing your thoughts and experience in this regard.
Actually, many places think seriously to switch to Linux OS. The only
problem is that their staff are not trained to deal with this OS.
The solution they are looking for is to either:
1. Push their staff to train themselves by themselves.
2. A more elegant way is to be certified (although as mentioned by
somebody this does not mean too much).

I believe that Linux can be better used in Academia and Companies since it
provides a cheap UNIX-like system.

There are also people who are against Linux and do not even want to
considere it. Why??

Well, in my personal view, they are afraid to go to something they do not
know and loose their status of experts in Windows for example.
Think of somebody being a Windows or Unix network administrator since many
years. How he is going to look at himself when dealing with this new OS
for him.
He will simply try to ignore it and pretend that it is not stable yet.

As an anecdote:
Somebody asked me to install Linux 6.3 on his PC. I did not have time at
that very moment so he asked sombody else to help him in the installation
process. That person installed RedHat 6.2. When I asked him why did you go
to RedHat instead of SuSE. He simply replied that "RedHat is more stable".
I fact he is not even familiar with the basic of the LINUX OS.

This is just to give you an idea about how judgments are made on the-fly.

Regards
