One of my jobs some time ago was with a nice and big company, with a five
digit employee list and a long history, for which expense was no problem.
I did have to change my mindset. Instead of going to the shop and buying
things, I had to go trough the bureaucracy, which told me that their
suppliers said that "there is no such thing as "SuSE 7.2 in our list".
Good grief.
They too went bankrupt.
No, the ignorance of their bureaucracy about Linux didn't have to do with
it: after all, it was them who had showed me how important Linux was, and
it could be used for serious and important things.
