We *still* have Sun boxes running Solaris which provide the central services - dns, mail, internal web server (and the business school provide a unix news server). However, the 'management' insist that we should be running Microsoft for pretty much everything. In the light of that I'm surprised I still even have a job here! Because I have been told that I 'have' to have access to the Exchange server for mail (etc), so I have to have a separate PC alongside my linux one. It's well and truely daft.
Just as a point of interest, I work for the University and I`ve a box running RH7.2 on my desk. It`s there because it automates solutions to some of the data manipulation we have to do (heavy statistical content up here). I`m not allowed to do any networky stuff with it, which doesn`t bother me too much.
