I ran dual boot for six months, and never used windows for anything. I also made sure not to ask any linux questions of him. Other than "You guys use dhcp, right?" and "What's the address for the exchange server?" I didn't bother him. So he knows I'm not going to harass him with a buch of support questions he can't answer. It also helps that I was hired in as an engineer to develop in a Linux environment. Not to mention, it's a small company moving into embedded linux, so they're serious about it and want to learn about it. As I install Gentoo and make it my daily workhorse (printing, coding, browsing, editting docs, email, etc) I'll document the install and config so someone else can try it. Why do I suddenly feel like an evangelist? :) The body count, so far: 1 Jr. Engr using Cygwin 1 Sr. Engr using OpenOffice The infection is spreading, slowly...
