Interestingly enough, a quick look trough netcraft reveals the following: While Clide Longbottom claims that Open Source is insecure, Strategy-partners.com , his company, runs a BSD server. And while Bernie Dodwell says the same thing, his company, Integralis, merged with Articon, where most of their servers run, yes, you got it, none other than linux: www.articon.com www.articon.de (german branch). www.articon.cz (czech branch). www.articon.at (austrian branch).
One nifty application for NetBeui is that is needed for another nasty MS protocol: NetDDE. Why would you want DDE, sameone could ask?
Well, most Real-Time Financial Workstations such as Bloombergs or Reuters share real-time data with applications in the same or other workstations through NetDDE. If you had NetBeui on Linux, you could in theory implement a NetDde Client and therefore give linux spreadsheets one more feature.

They have an agreement with Mandrake to develop a chinese distribution in Beijing. Or so they say here.
Well of course, the site is already slashdotted.
Way to go guys, you'll probably make it to the NASDAQ 500.
I wonder what will be next. I'm waiting for an R2-D2-like case, or at least something that looks like The Matrix.
