I believe it will help. Is this acceptable by LinuxQA?
Assuming it is acceptable, can LinuxQA wrote their exact address, including
the floor in which their offices are found? How can I pass the building
security ("I have come to mr. Segal from LinuxQA, please let me through ...")?
When can I come and when must I leave ("You can come after 19pm because by
that time the noise level at the office becomes tolerable and you must leave
before 22pm because we are not willing to have non staff people at our offices
late at night")?
Are the machine connected to the Internet? Can I do whatever I want with them
("install packages, test various configurations, becomes root, install debian
with a diskette followed by apt-get even though the machine had a nice working
mandrake Linux")? Are the working config files kept somewhere safe but
accessible to everyone like a diskette in case one would like to revert back
(hardcopy may be the last resort)?
