A linux defeat
Once upon a time, neither long ago nor far way, repeated server crashes caused a client’s IT management to replace about 40 x86 Linux servers with nice reliable Windows products.
Why? Well, according to a guy they didn’t hire to run their Linux infrastructure the key player at the hiring interviews for that job was presented as the User Services Manager but really just ran the help desk - and asked questions like this:
How do you deploy patch kits? I mean, does this sh* even have remote boot?
The woman they eventually hired for the job is an Australian who, in her own words “didn’t know Lingal from bingle” but was all hot to give it a go.
