hi there,
that is true, and usually, those techies who are in charge of maintaining the
servers are the ones who handle techsupport for the people using desktops.
also, those techies often have a say in the policies of the organization,
e.g. "we're going to try linux on the desktops". laziness won't be an excuse
from learning or re-learning things once the organization adopts new policies
on their desktops. hey, it's the org's pc's anyway, diba?
most if not all of the orgs i've seen migrating their desktops to linux have
done so from top to bottom, i.e. the techies who handle servers first
becoming linux converts before the org notices and creates a policy for
migrating all (or most) of their desktops to linux.
in fact, in circumstances where in ordinary desktop users are the ones who
try to initiate the change to linux, they are helpless until they convert one
or more techies, or key management people.
...just from observation.
anyway, this is getting off topic.
me shut up now :)
