The simple answer is that I work at a fairly conservative Wall St. firm and
getting my management to even consider Linux was a huge step. They really
could give a "rat's hindquarters" about core files or who cleans them up.
That's what we have ops people for.. :-)
My group has the freedom to choose -- AS LONG as a company (i.e., someone
we can sue) is willing to support the app. My management will even pay a
company to port their app (hence my questions about Cgate and post.office).
For the record, we don't hire programmers full-time either. Contract only.
In other words, it's either commercially-supported apps on AlphaLinux, or
MS Exchange.
And this isn't even for a production use! I guess the next time I post a
question, I'll need to request that opinions be sent to /dev/null.. :-)
