I work for a major communications company and I have the same problem. I have to support Linux and Solaris platforms in our production VOIP environment. But, they will not let me use a Linux or Solaris platform on the corporate network. I can't test bash, perl, or python scripts before putting them in the production network. There are excellent third party apps (Splunk) that they don't consider because there is a FREE version. Go figure!

Anyone noted that the photo shows the guys with the spears are in red paint. Kinda reminds you of the "red shirts" that beam down from the Enterprise and are killed off by some vapor cloud.
