The customer always makes the decision.

So, your are comparing Consultants with Lawyers?  And, no, a good consultant
prefers that the company *does* have in house experience.  It makes meeting

I have clients using RHELv4 along with firefox 2.x and OpenOffice 2.2.  Just
because RHELv4 doesn't come with those application versions doesn't mean one
