Have you been asking for VA/RPG on Linux?  Has anyone else?

As far as I can tell, in my department, the "Linux expert"
is me.  And I'm still working on the AS/400!  A couple of
days ago, I chatted with my manager about Linux, and the
heaviest question he asked me was how to pronounce the name
"Linux".  Well that's certainly an improvement from 18
months ago - I told him I installed Linux at home and he
then asked me "What's Linux"!

Cheers!  Hans
