have you asked them how the move went?

while mild services migration (DNS, e-mail, etc) is fairly painless (i
shouldn't have been as arbitrary in saying it's never painless..) it still
involves a good amount of work and planning.

i very much doubt they moved to linux on all their production or test
machines. i suspect that they still have a good amount of Sun/Solaris
machines in the offices there, and that the major DB machines are still
running Solaris.

looking through their employement pages, though, i suspect that they're
not really running that much linux after all. it seems to be mostly NT and
Solaris.
