 That sounds like the old head of IT who wore suits and read DATAMATION
 magazine. Read an executive summary about the newest trend and asks
 management to look into it.

 My old boss had an anti-linux bent, mostly because he paid for support
 and wanted someone to blame if/when things broke. We used a paid
 virtualization host, which ironically, was based on Linux, kvm and
 qemu, just like the F/OSS alternative I brought up.

 Gotta say, the support for the commercial product was top notch.
