tbh, cause my other comment in this thread were more windows-rant, I had one moment where I felt "alone" in enterprise (i was 23). It was in 2007, laptops in enterprise, at least in this insurance company was not common, and I was the only person with my glorious x60, at least within the openspace :). I was called in a meeting to help to display something, except that this is was my personal laptop, with hardware issue and gentooised, i don't remember exactly the issue but X was not willing to start at resume, even after reboot. I felt alone in front of the senior dev and manager guys :P Of course, it was the classical Murphy shit moment.
Note that this projector was usually connected to one of these HP pizzabox running wintel but it was not working. So I guess I shouldn't be totally ashamed at the end.
