YES!! The only good thing is that I am asked to provide more and more services on linux/unix boxes because of problems with windows.
I've sent the webproj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx people an e-mail asking if they could ensure access for all W3C browsers, but with what you say, I won't hold my breath.
Good. I work opposite those guys and I know they test web stuff with opera and mozilla; probably not lynx though. However they do not run the portal servers - that is the apps team.
I'm amazed that RM and others can get away with it these days- it shows that even those with responsibility for purchasing aren't computer-savvy. Worrying isn't it?
Not sure why you say that or on what basis even? The supply of desktop pc's went through the usual tender process. As far as I remember it came down to 3 companies - RM got the contract. There were technical presentations by all those invited to tender and IT staff were invited to go along. Okay I admit that I didn't - but these things are invariably MS orientated since windows is the required desktop client. Having said that I had already installed redhat 9 directly onto one of the RM pc's with no problem, so I was happy that they would work with linux (from my point of view because I use redhat). Actually the monitors are not corectly recognised but I usually swap them out for older 17" ones anyway. Don't forget that this is for the 'desktop', not for 'servers' which provide things such as the portals.
