About Linux-
It is being used everywhere AND net/admin people are having a greater burden
trying to ignore it.
I'm using it in grades 8 to 12 on servers for webserving, DNS, backup,
firewalling, content filtering, thin clients and standalones on about 100
boxes now.
I just got back from the other side of the continent - literally - and
Memorial University had a big surprise for me.
I sat down at a box in the main library with my little tiny sheet of paper
listing my logon and password. I pressed the shift key and what did I see?
A modified kde logon.
The admins had setup a win98 image as one of the boot options in gdm. Every
user had a great system to utilize. I used linux. as manyu others around
me.
Any system admin who disses linux has their heads up their as@#s.
It works, it is cheap, it is powerful, it is quicker to admin. I'm alone
here- a one man show- and with this list I have never had a down minute.
Period.
