  3. Re:My Experience with the Linux on Happy 13th Birthday Linux! · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Dude! That was history. (rest /. 's read as trolling of him)

    Today linux offer all of the sutff you mentioned earlier.

    At one of the major corps(5000+ employees) that I consult....were(and still are!) doing an AMAZING job at their respective tasks of serving HTTP requests, DNS, and fileserving.

    Just look at the sites like google.com, slahsdot.org; I am sure they supports more than 5000+ user less than second without any panic.In one of my past experience (RH 7.2 box) ProFTPD server daily servers more than 100-500 users with 35-50 GB data transfer on just Intel Cel 1.3, 512 MB RAM. Same server gets mirrored every day for backup (at midnight in same IDC).

    Not to mention the fact that the Linux kernel itself lacks any support for any type of journaled filesystem, memory protection, SMP support, etc

    journaled filesystem - Yes linux got it
    memory protection - Yes linux got it
    SMP support - Yes linux got it
    Read Kernel 2.6 Rocks the Enterprise World - http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/526 3/1/
    Did you read Microsoft Found Guilty of Misleading Advertising http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/25/115625 3&tid=109

    As things stand now, I can understand using Linux in academia to compile simple "Hello World" style programs and learn C programming, but I'm afraid that for anything more than a hobby OS, Windows 98/NT/2K are your only choices.

    Yah it rocks with virues, IE bugs and all sorts of things. I'm dam sure within next 5 years people stop dealing with business those rely of buggy Microsoft technologies.

    Long live to tux. Happy birthday :)
