Why? Just because some supervisor says to do
something is no reason
to do something if it's senseless.
It depends on how much you like your paycheck.
taxpayer, you certainly should be able to take a set
of Linux or
FreeBSD CD-ROMs with you to a public library and use them to "repair"
at least one of their computer systems. Doing so may certainly freak
a pretentious librarian out, who claims to know something about
computers and doesn't, but that's not something that you need concern
yourself with.
Not with any of the librarians I know. They would not freak out - stay
cool and collected - as they telephone the police...
