You COULD do this, but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't know how large the company is that you are working for, but there are reasons behind company rules. Not only could you end up looking stupid if you do something by stealth, you could end up getting fired. I DO run SuSE at home AND at work, but I am in charge of IT for my company. If you were in my company and I had a SOA (Standard Operating Environment) of Windows X/Office X/Custom App Y etc etc and you installed linux by stealth you would most definately NOT be in my good books.
I have to agree with Peter here myself, being the Network Administrator here at my company, I'm more then network admin I'm pretty much the whole IT depart, my boss has the MIS title but knows nothing, ( want go into that, just say the users call on me), I do not like anyone installing or modifying the way the computer boots or works here since I'm the one who has to come behind them an mop up the mess they create. I have one guy here who likes to install stuff from the internet an he would not asked about doing so. I finally fixed his little red wagon when I put win2k on this machine an locked him out from installing stuff. he has user privileges only now. Tis not good to go behind the IT's back an do stuff without them being aware of it 1st an signing off on it. just my 2 cents worth. jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com
