In early 2000 I don't think you'll ever find anyone from the business side
ever even suggesting that they think Linux (in general) was *ever*
something vendors recommended to run in production... but here we are now
;-)
And bye bye to AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Digital Unix, Tru64 Unix (only to
mention the OSes I had been involved in at different levels); and I would
like to notice that each one of those had its strong points anyway and let
me learn much.

Business men joked with me when I asked about considering Linux in some
context and they replied "Eh, Linus? The cartoon guy?"

So what?

Please leave business to business
