Bryan - that would be more for a server environment and not for your desktop or laptop, although you could run Linux on any platform. This way I can run Linux on my corporate server and still be able to launch my Windows applications from the server and not have to have them residing on every workstation.

I would love to be able to use Linux on all the servers instead of Window NT, but large companies are slow to change. Once the mass migration from Windows to Linux occurs which I'm sure it will eventually unless Microsoft comes up with something a lot better, then the "real" Linux stocks will be BIG. Just need to weed out which ones are real and which ones just put out a press release that they had some Linux connection while the mania was occuring.

Windows will probably stay the platform of choice for workstations, laptops and personal computers for some time, and Linux and Sun Solaris will be running on the servers.

I'm keeping a close eye on CRYS and others for both short term and long term positions.

Good luck
