| The company I work for is HUGE and has more business segments than I will 
| ever know. Being a company this big means there is, more often than not, has 
| its fare share of of bureaucracy and red tape. Sometimes the easiest things 
| in life become major accomplishments. So, I figured I was in for a headache 
| trying to use Ubuntu - especially when the official company Linux 
| distribution is Redhat.
