I know some folk value certification, but I wonder. Some time ago a
local business would not run Oracle on Linux "because it's not
certified."
It was actually available and it ran fine.
Take a look at the software you run:
Is Samba certified?
Is Sendmail/Postfix/Exim?
So far as I know, _none_ of the hardware I run Linux on is certified.
