Sorry, I badly phrased that. I was talking about a company that used Unix on their servers, instead of workstations (usually for 3D Work). Although many used Indys and later O2s and Octanes as terminals for their Crimson or Onyx (2) (but not via telnet). That's what _I_ did and in these environments (usually Irix, some Solaris, AIX and HP-UX) the GNU tools were usually installed (except on single purpose computers that only ran one program, like F/F/I, Softimage or Maya or some 3D CAD). Maybe in the big automotive companies (using 3D CAD/CAM) the admins were, well 'enterprisey', but normally you were root on your workstation as developer.
