Linux: while things are changing rapidly, I believe most current Linux adoption is in the area of mid range print and file servers. High end industrial strength servers usually some flavor of unix or proprietary; desktop windows, NT fighting for everything

Kevin, I work for a large multi national. We only use NT for servers. We use them for file and print, email, SQL and SNA connectivity. I work in Latin America and we have around 200 in my area. We really do not have lockup problems any more. We are on Version 4 SP 4 and it is pretty stable. We will not put in Linux until there is full support for it. Right now no matter where you get it from, the kernal is not supported by the vendor. It is still in the hands of one person. There are other issues, but this is the biggest one keeping out. Other things that will hold it back are lack of tools and people trained to support. The last two will sort themselves out as it grows. My point of view on this one comes from the world I work in. I really don't know how much penetration Linux has overall. I would be real surprised if it was 40%. The computer world just does not change that fast. On the two confused posts the first was on ZITL. I won't touch that stock. The second one was to Jim B and his worries about SBAS trading lower AH.
