Perhaps we should write a policy and get it board approved. "We will
not run any software that does not meet the approval of one of our
licenses" Are we currently breaking that rule anywhere in our
infrastructure?
It'd be nice to just point him to the policy so they know. We've had
people ask us in the past to install stuff.

My only problem with a policy is someone else trying to hold our feet to
the fire in a completely unreasonable place. Like bios firmware or some
such thing.

The LB is easy to replace if we want to. But what to do about the
cisco switches (and pix in front of that I guess)

I'm inclined not to sweat them overly much. It's a niche we cannot
easily provide for ourselves. Moreover, we just don't have the time
right now to sort that out. At least not that I can tell.

While it's possible to stick a bunch of 4 port ethernet cards into a
Linux box and bridge them, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
(and pix in front of that I guess)
What's the PIX used for? Unless you have some odd interfaces plugged
into them I'm sure a properly configured Fedora/RHEL box will do pretty
much anything a PIX will do.

We use the pix as a firewall, I'm sure a Fedora/RHEL box would do great.

If you consider internal Red Hat stuff, like Brew for core, distill for
composing core (at least FC6), the update tool currently used, those are all
closed source, but replacements or opensourceing of all of these are in
progress.
