This has to be flame bait! I guess that old 486 I've got that acts as a
Firewall, IP Masquerader, Appletalk Server, NFS Server, Samba Server, FTP
Server, Web Server, etc. is running something other than Linux? I've also
used it for software testing and development, as well as an X-Terminal. Do
you have any idea of how many businesses are using Linux for work? Get a
clue, Linux is a real and widely used OS that far surpasses many commercial
alternatives!
