I accidentally responded off list to this. Just to sum up: Yes. The companies list has provisions for this. Even if your company uses Linux in a very limited role I think it still belongs on the list. I've gotten some off-list feed back from Jonathan in this regard. I'm working on adding an 'Additional OSs Used' field that will show us what sort of integration issues companies might be facing. Please let me know what you think. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
