I actually am in the opposite position. I have a great Dell Inspiron 8000
laptop that my employer bought me when I started there. It runs SuSE 7.2
and Windows 200 in dual boot. At work, it runs SuSE - so that I can get
work done. At home it runs Windows so that I can play (Tribes2, Half Life).
No Outlook - we're a service provider that does web-based email for large
organizations - so we eat what we serve.
For word processing, we simply use whatever we have - and convert to Office
format if need be. Only a handful of our computers were even ordered with
Office licenses :) The CEO uses an iMac, and theres a good mix of Windows,
MacOS, OS-X, Linux, Solaris, BSD, and others. Basically, whatever you want
to use to get the job done, and whatever you're comfortable using...
Of course, were not typical - I know. Most of us have worked for
$HUGE_COMPANY, and some of us have even worked for $FUCKED_COMPANY - so
we,ve been around the block a few times and we know the score...

That said, I'm currently looking for a sysadmin. Our office is located in
Providence, RI. Our website is www.bungo.com. Use this email or my work
email - khuhn at bungo.com to contact me. Pass this along to anyone you know
in the area that might be interested.
