'Bunch of stuff, Phillip. Just one, Broadcom with their bad attitude towards Linux with their wi-fi chipsets. Yes, I know, there is a kludge, but they specified "native" linux drivers. I don't know all of the history there, but I have an idea that 1) someone tried to "get in" before me and failed, and 2) the CIO is brain dead - that is I found out yesterday that he's very pro MonkeySoft.
