Linux Community Halloween Challenge

LuMinoR writes "In a cool contest with a Halloween theme, BitDefender is inviting Linux enthusiasts to crash test their upcoming antivirus solution for Linux e-mail servers. The most thorough beta tester will receive 1,000 German beers and a trip to BitDefender's corporate headquarters in Romania, where they will attend meetings with Count Dracula, the BitDefender development team and other local luminaries."

Re:How to tell if you are a linux fanatic.

I think your post is pretty funny - and even somewhat true - however I have to say that there IS professional use of Linux. I'm a central IT design guy in a company with 60,000 windows boxes and 1,200 Linux boxes. The Linux ones are the professionals - they do high end stuff like Geo mapping (finding oil, etc.) on them that they can't do on their windows machines yet.

And yet...the numbers are climbing; a week ago a report informed us that our numbers now double, on the desktop, the MacIntosh.

I set up DOS/Windows shops from Huntsville, AL to Chicago, IL...the amazing mass-hysteria of this mega-monopoly is partly my fault; sorry. But now I work to correct it.

An important concept to remember is that while there are still things to be improved, one virus of 200,000+ and your day is toast, your work evaporated, AND YET YOU STILL STAY WITHOUT TRYING TO CHANGE IT.

We did. And every day it gets better, not more expensive.

Enjoy the show!
