As a techno-weeny, I agree that Microsoft was trying to fake a threat with the Halloween memos. However I believe that the threat is real. Linux won't displace Windows, but it'll make a dent. Somewhere on the net I saw AOL server (AOLs proprietary web server that serves millions) pre compiled for Linux. I think it was compiled and put there by AOL, but I'm not sure. The number for Linux is guestimated at 7-9 million BTW, but it depends on who you talk to. I believe its higher. Also to Robert, I believe kernel 2.2 will be 16-way scalable. Current stable kernels are 8 way I believe, but not very good. I respect your opinion though. Judd
