Linux Going Mainstream
Gossi writes "The BBC is carrying an excellent overview of the growing use of Linux, by many different fields. The article says it all, really, and is probably something you should show your Boss."

I am what most people would consider a highly trained technical professional. Unlike most people who spout off at this site, I have the certificates to prove this, and furthermore they're issued by the biggest software company in existence.
I know how to tell facts from marketing fluff. Now, here are the facts as they're found by SEVERAL INDEPENDENT RESEARCH INSTITUTES:
Expenses for file-server workloads under Windows, compared to LinuxOS:
They compared Microsofts IIS to the Linux 7.0 webserver. For Windows, the cost was only:
Application development and support costs for Windows compared to an opensores solution like J2EE:
A full Windows installation, compared to installing Linux, on an Enterprise Server boxen:
Compared to the best known opensores webserver "Red Hat", Microsoft IIS:
These are hard numbers and 100% FACTS! There are several more where these came from.
Who do you think we professionals trust more?
Reliable companies with tried and tested products, or that bedroom coder Thorwalds who publicly admits that he is in fact A HACKER???

just like they sexed up the WMD news.
a little orphan boy(rather nordic looking ;)
A mother and her young boy are gathering mushrooms in the German forest. The boy finds some poisonous ones. The mother explains that there are good mushrooms and poisonous ones, and, as they go home, says:
"Look, Franz, human beings in this world are like the mushrooms in the forest. There are good mushrooms and there are good people. There are poisonous, bad mushrooms and there are bad people. And we have to be on our guard against bad people just as we have to be on guard against poisonous mushrooms. Do you understand that?"
"Yes, mother," Franz replies. "I understand that in dealing with bad people trouble may arise, just as when one eats a poisonous mushroom. One may even die!"
"And do you know, too, who these bad men are, these poisonous mushrooms of mankind?" the mother continued.
Franz slaps his chest in pride:
"Of course I know, mother! They are the Jews! Our teacher has often told us about them."
The mother praises her boy for his intelligence, and goes on to explain the different kinds of "poisonous" Jews: the Jewish pedlar, the Jewish cattle-dealer, the Kosher butcher, the Jewish doctor, the baptised Jew, and so on.
"However they disguise themselves, or however friendly they try to be, affirming a thousand times their good intentions to us, one must not believe them. Jews they are and Jews they remain. For our Volk they are poison."
"Like the poisonous mushroom!" says Franz.
"Yes, my child! Just as a single poisonous mushrooms can kill a whole family, so a solitary Jew can destroy a whole village, a whole city, even an entire Volk."
Franz has understood.
"Tell me, mother, do all non-Jews know that the Jew is as dangerous as a poisonous mushroom?"
Mother shakes her head.
"Unfortunately not, my child. There are millions of non-Jews who do not yet know the Jews. So we have to enlighten people and warn them against the Jews. Our young people, too, must be warned. Our boys and girls must learn to know the Jew. They must learn that the Jew is the most dangerous poison-mushroom in existence. Just as poisonous mushrooms spring up everywhere, so the Jew is found in every country in the world. Just as poisonous mushrooms often lead to the most dreadful calamity, so the Jew is the cause of misery and distress, illness and death."
The author then concludes this story by pointing the moral:
German youth must learn to recognise the Jewish Poison-mushroom. They must learn what a danger the Jew is for the German Volk and for the whole world. They must learn that the Jewish problem involves the destiny of us all.
"The following tales tell the truth about the Jewish poison-mushroom. They show the many shapes the Jew assumes. They show the depravity and baseness of the Jewish race. They show the Jew for what he really is:
The Devil in human form."

I agree Linux is here to stay. I looked at OS X, it's too gay for me to use.
u suck
Yeah, things like confusing commands, impossible installs, inconsistent desktops, garish icons, crappy games, and late night phone calls to the local LUG who invariably answer "If you don't know how to do it then you're too stupid to use Linux." I'm sure your friends are scrambling to install Linux. Please.
Support the First Amendment. Read at -1
An article about linux without mention of RMS is like .. ummm .. a cake without ummm .. oh nevermind.
keep smokin that crack pipe nig.
"Linux is unique in that its code is open source,"
r y_ id=4368
couldn't be more wrong.
This article also seems to have a somewhat limited notion of the definition of open source. Maybe someone has an article or somesuch that they could commend to the folks at the BBC? Additionally, the article appears to be about the same conference described in:
http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?sto
at which it appears there was considerably FreeBSD interest.
Free means no restrictions, ironic the FSF's GPL forces restrictions, isn't it? What's your definition of free?
How was this insightful?
I live in a giant bucket.
Oh now I get it! HA HA HA HA! Boy, you are a F U N N Y guy!!! Dummy
