I would see such an occasion as rare... indeed.
There are a number of issues alluded to obliquely in this thread that deserve more focus...
Some idiot with a fresh A+ cert gets a job before me with my years of experience with hardware from the XT on up. Everything from MFM to ESDI and SCSI. I'd bet that your average tech today has never even heard of the first two types. Same for ISA and EISA!
I have worked with many OSes as well... from basic DOS to DesqViewX (nice early xserver) to OS-2 to Linux. Not to mention AIX and others in that realm as well. I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you afterwards... ;-
Hey y'all... take note: Linux is the best, most stable, most deeply developed consumer level OS there is. Professional as well... LOOK... it's on a LOT of servers out there, and has been for years... That says something... seriously.

Now, it is finally becoming an (any monkey can do it) OS that is ready for the basic user desktop. And contrary to what "they" would have one believe, HELP is ALWAYS available. Detailed help .
The real weird thing is that it is RICH with applications, security, and everything else one would want (freedom from viral attack).
So all these windows centric people are just spewing utter crap. They barely know there on operating systems, and that only to the depth that billy allows.
Like another poster observed..."When was the last time Billy let you compile your kernel with optimizations specific to your own system?"
Hell, he doesn't let anyone get that close to his crap, because we would all laugh at the patched up mess that it really is.
Even his TCP-IP stack is an addon. NOT INTEGRATED.
Remember, just like AOL, Billy's company was found, in a court of law, to be ripping off his customers. Why we didn't boycott, and subsequently kill AOL is beyond me.
Why we don't make Billy suffer is as well. He gives to a charity... big woop. It isn't enough.
Why does any CS student (particularly those of military beginnings) know that Linux is a much better OS than windows?
Why? Because they were properly educated. Why do MS** cert idiots think and spew that it is not? Because of their BillyEdjumacation.
Billy is also responsible for the inordinate price one pays for software in his realm as well.
They all went to the Bill Gates' School of Suck Mo Cash.
No piece of software or his OS is worth what is asked for it. The electronics industry made this country's economy. Then Billy comes along, and sells you next to nothing for a huge price... THEN, he gets companies to pay him even more every year for a customer service obligation that should have been part of the base software purchase. Sneaky f***er... worse than a friggin' landlord.
DFS And apparently you can't read, either. Maybe this explainsyour animosity towards Linux... It does require the user...
The thing is that it is becoming clear to folks that the screwing they are getting isn't worth the screwing they are getting.
THAT is why things are shifting. To late to be scared BillyWare boys... The tide is already turning. Y'all better bone up on a little diversity before that fear of being outside the box catches up to you.
The military is embracing Linux practically full bore. That should tell everyone something...

The word for today is "Practical Functionality"
Is linux practically functional... YES.

Is windows practically functional... depends on who one asks. One doesn't see it in use on any jet fighters... eh...
Y'all have a nice day...
