Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada

WEFUNK writes "Canadian Business magazine has a cover story promoting Wi-Fi, VoIP, and Linux as 'Stuff that Works: 3 hot technologies that live up to their hype.' The article goes on to describe a number of Canadian success stories, ranging from Spotnik Mobile's growing network of Wi-Fi hotspots to the Canadian National Railway's use of Linux since 1993, and quantifies the benefits of VoIP to a Canadian insurance company's call centre. The article also includes some shipment numbers for Linux servers in Canada, mentions the growing number of Linux apps, and nicely downplays the SCO debacle."

But VOIP doesn't work on Linux

[Anonymous Coward]

VOIP is illegal to run on Linux because its made by Microsoft. And I thought that VOIP is slower than DSL so why not just use to mics's to connect the telephones or just use cell phones, eh?

And Wi-Fi would not reach the distance from my house to the house across the street, so unless I want to call myself it is useless ... therefore I conclude that all 3 technologies are useless.

I bet I'll be modded down for dissing Linux, as always...
