There is a huge difference between using Linux as a build machine and
using it to run 100% of your company. It's getting better every day,
but Ken is absolutely correct in stating that it has a long way to go.
I don't think that any of us would suggest that our banks place their
databases on Linux today (and those of you who would, please suggest it
to *your* bank, not mine).
That doesn't say anything negative about Linux, by the way. It just
says we still have work to do. Which is true.
