I can't offer you any specific advice, but I cannot offer my support
enough.  I work for an organization (also government) that absolutely
REFUSES to allow any non-Windows machine on the network.  I have tried, as
you are doing, on several occasions to convince or even allow the trial
otherwise.  I have tried claiming that it won't interfere, that my
productivity will be increased, stability, that I have them coexisting at
home, etc, etc.  I have been unsuccesul to date.  But, for some reason,
they are absolutely convinced that Windows is the way of the future for
their networks and will not consider otherwise.  I find the
close-mindedness very disheartening.

In any case, I don't intend this message to discourage you - I wish you
all the best.  If I can be of any assistance, let me know.  I just thought
it might help you know that others have the same problems.

(On a COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE, if anyone knows of a job in the
Vancouver, Canada area which is more UNIX friendly and openminded, please
let me know.  :-)  )

Good luck,
