Database server and file serving, among other things. And yes, I used AIX,
MVS and OpenBSD as well. MVS beats all of them, but I don't see much of a
difference between the others.

Well, Linux certainly has issues, and Jamie certainly likes to find new
ways to say "all the rest of you guys are stupid and I'm smart".
Insulting Windows lacks shock value these days, so panning Linux in
preference for, oh, Plan Nine or something is then next coming thing.
As other people have said, Linux is probably the best Unix for desktop
use. That's what I use my computer for, so I run Linux. I wouldn't
choose it for a server either. It wasn't even considered for the next
Grex OS. Linux isn't completely unusable as a server, but FreeBSD is
definately better, and I think 90% of the people who know anything
about servers would agree.
And do you know, even if another open source system appeared with a
better desktop environment, I'd probably keep running Linux. I'm
basically too busy *using* my computer to keep dicking around with
different OS's every week. I don't need the best OS, just an adequate
one.
