Re: [gentoo-user] survey: gentoo corporate usage?

[Mitchell James]

We are using Gentoo for image generation systems used for high end 
training simulators (our product).  The IT department supplies Redhat 
for the desktop systems.  This is more a problem of IT being able to get 
certified training on Redhat and therefore something that they feel that 
they can put on a resume for the next job.

Also IT is not interested in having current updates on the desktop, all 
they want is one stable load that can last several years before the next 
update.  They have just decided to go to Redhat 8.0 from 7.2.  That 
should happen in the next year.  Most of the desktops still run Windows 
2000 or earlier.

Gentoo must have a CD distribution with certified training classes 
before it has a chance at my company.

I also have had problems acheiving a stable configuration and wouldn't 
recommend your standard desktop user be exposed to that much pain.
