Hehe, religious is the right word. I remember a situation at my |
| 18 |
workplace: The admin of our departement IT ordered a Linux workstation |
| 19 |
with (fully supported) ATI graphics. At the last second he was overruled |
| 20 |
by the head of our institute's IT in favor of a completely unsupported |
| 21 |
and more expensive NVidia card. Not only did the poor guy have to wait |
| 22 |
two more weeks for the shipment to arrive, he was also stuck with the |
| 23 |
VESA driver for half a year and unstable NVidia drivers ever since. |
