Linux is not dead. In fact, Linux is growing faster that any other piece of software out on the market to date, for the past year or so. Think about it. When did YOU start to notice Linux. My 60+ father, who really can't use a computer that well, even heard of it. Enough so to mention that he would like to know more. I got about 2 minutes in and that was enough for him, but hell...that's more than he would listen to me when I tried to teach him windows. The bottom line is, the reports of linux being dead...just makes it more ALIVE. I for one just installed FreeBSD on an old computer. Not to mention, my company started using it in its products. Not the same, but it CERTAINLY is proof that 'free os's' are not dead. Someone should actually spend the time researching how old Linux and FreeOS types of systems really are. These OS's are built with stability and uniformity in mind. They are built to last. Unlike Windoze. Did anyone tell them to look at Apple recently? So you want a reliable Web server? Not windoze. Oh well..I think I have made my point. I highly doubt we will see anything majorly negative happen to the linux or free os releases. Better collaboration will only serve to shut them up even faster. : )
