It's getting crazy. Here at York, they are insisting that ALL windows computers on the network install the latest service pack (or whatever it's called, Windows-Update thingy), AND install anti-virus software, or they will be removed from the netowrk. We got hit pretty hard I guess.
So having three linux boxen on the network is very low-maintenance (well if you ignore the fact that two run cooker with urpmi twice a day).
