Gah anon for obvious reasons.
GDF is being moved over to OCDC RH6. Security issues -- most of GTS will follow.
Mind you for me its an improvement. I'm no longer stuck on that AT&T dialer cruft. OpenConnect has connect times into weeks at this stage of the game, and survives switching between wired and wireless on my in home network (since the lappy's mac address is bound to a single IP on either)
I'm bound to a single client in GDF. I use both Notes and Outlook. Once I'd beaten management into getting me more than the basic mail space on Notes and I managed to get the document handler working well I'm quite happy with notes. Since I tend to be on beta tests for things coming out on the linux platform I suspect I've contributed to some minor improvements along the way, if only because I yell when things are broken.
Thanking ${deity} I no longer have to consider IE. For anything on my work laptop.
Internally, the KVM implementation on my t420 rocks. When and where I have to (*cough* visio,outlook *cough*) I have a win 7vm and a series of RH vms that I can test scripts and things on . Love the laptop.
Nope, I almost never make it to the office.
And GreyWolf, if you are in any way associated with w3 search, I will relegate you to a win95 desktop with ie.4, and a 2400baud modem.
Firefox on linux - at least I don't have to deal with .net crap getting into my browser. Since .net doesn't work too well on firefox on linux.
I can't say I disagree with the idea that one should not sell something to one's customer if one would not use it oneself.
${thirdparty}_cloud_storage is just plain stupid in cases like (${IT_COMPANY} and big customer) - I mean really - there is NO guarantee that either ${IT_COMPANY} or ${customer) can hold in their hand that there are *any* relevant security rules applied to that storage, no matter what the cloud providers say.
I don't have issues with moving data around with the customer since we have servers that were built to bridge the connections between IBM and ${customer} (note caveat above, I am bound to a specific customer)
