We never did have a single IT person that worked at my school that
didn't fall in love with Linux... Even the Windows fanboys eventually
enjoyed not having to deal with viruses and such Windows annoyances.
The attitude that I HATE to see is when an IT type specifically says
that he only installs and recommends Windows, not because it's the best
thing for the job or the customer, but that it is the best thing for
their job security. They usually even run Linux at home themselves, but
they just can't resist a sure thing with having to get paid large
amounts of money to come by and clean the gunk out of someone's system a
couple of times a year.
Personally, I've found that I still get the work when I've installed
linux... it's just that the work is a lot more interesting than the same
old virus clean out, or system reload.
