You already have some responses to this, but here's one, from a different slant:


*Why* are you being asked this?

(Don't answer me! :-)  I don't want to know, since I can't help).

Questions sometimes can be leading; this question may indicate a more subtle issue, which is your real concern.

For example, this question could be from a manager who isn't very technical, but could have been exposed to some of Microsoft's anti-free software FUD in the mainstream press. So he/she has (unfounded) but legitimate "concerns" about using free software.

If this were the case, I'd consult some advocacy how-to's. Of course this might not be the issue either.

Good luck on this one.

-Scott
