Before I quit my job and went to live in Spain, I was a staff member at the IT department of a big university. We didn't do anything with Linux, and partially, I was to blame. So now you can all hate me.... I'll explain though. It was my responsibility to devise a technical concept for the university's IT needs. Those of you who know a bit of how universities work will know it requires a good deal of politics to maneuver your way around, and at the time, our main issue was knowledge, support and standardization. And we were a Microsoft shop. The fastest way for the IT department to get a firm base was to come up with a standard set of integrated solutions and MS helped us to achieve that goal (together with Novell Active Directory, but that was another political choice I won't get into...).
