At work it may be better to go with the flow unless you have some power
there. Trying to circumvent IT policy or even making waves might cost you
more trouble than it's worth.

In this case the environment shouldn't be too terribly different and letting
your IT department support your machine while you are learning isn't a bad
idea. (Running anti-virus on an end user linux machine is a waste. But other
things they do might save you from getting hosed.)
