Nope. Well... actually, my manager's talking about Ubuntu or maybe even
FreeBSD. He's *extremely* upset with RH being so slow - 8 should have been
out for some time, for one, and a lot of 7, even with SCL, is far behind,
and our researchers want newer software.
But most of our Office's work is done in-house. Lots of CentOS and RH,
lesser amounts, AFAIK, of ubuntu.
Cloud? Why would I want to go back to time-sharing on a mainframe?*
