Did you miss Thursday's Report on Business in the Globe and Mail?

Five pages of decent Linux reporting, followed by the obligatory one page
ad from Microsoft. Included in the marketing piece was a story about one
Linux installation that overloaded the network when 300+ terminals
(workstations?) were upgraded at once.

I'd love to hear the whole story on that one. Can we start a Top Ten list
of how many ways an inexperience adminstrator might have screwed that one
up?

So this customer ended up scurrying back to Microsoft. I bet that's a
story that gets rolled out often.
