Either I'm dealing with idiot clients who just want it sorted and one big red button to bang their heads off. OR: I'm in marketing and I didn't know that computers did anything other than provide big red buttons to bang my head off, so I'd sell that. After all it's probably the clients money and what they really want is an O2, fresh from the SGI factory, with the hoover attachment as well. (Well, they look like vacuum cleaners to me, but clients like them!) Seriously though, I can't see in what context I'd be giving Linux, which is pretty renowned for being non-standard to a 'client who so far has been described as loving UNIX' and _wants_ Unix, not a UNIX-like OS.
