Add new comment | Linux Journal: "nterprises considering Linux as an alternative desktop to Microsoft Windows often believe they have some essential Win32 applications or tools that prevent them from making the switch. I have seen CIOs eliminate the Linux option because someone advising them failed to mention how Linux can run Win32 applications. In fact, Linux has the ability to run Windows applications in a number of different ways.

The Walt Disney Company, for example, has deployed Linux desktops successfully by using WINE to run some Windows applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Disney Animation first deployed Linux in 2002. As recently as late March 2005, Disney advertised for a Linux Technical Support Engineer.

To give you an idea of the kind of Linux personnel the company was looking for, here's a link to the Web site advertisement. An excerpt from the ad reads:

The (Technical Support Engineer) TSE will provide hardware and software support to our Artists and Developers in a Linux production environment. The TSE will support our all-CG production of Chicken Little in addition to other films and projects.

We're looking for intelligent, committed people with strong understanding of a Unix/Linux production environment, great interpersonal skills and a love of the creative process.

This is a Linux-centric position. Candidates without strong Linux or Unix experience will not be considered.

Duties

*

Production support via phones and email and live at desk-side.
*

Liaison between technology and production departments.
*
