Re: Linux sucks

I too am grateful for all the help I have gotten.
I use Linux on 3 out of my 4 machines, and I am not turning back.
I have sucessfully managed to set up a server that has done nothing but
sit there and work.......day after day. Granted, it doesn't work very
hard, but it could....... I have a fedora laptop that works like a top.
I have a linux based firewall that does it's job day after day as well.
(It also runs a VPN connection to the office I work at.)
How about:
[root@smtp-01-001 root]# uptime
14:01:48 up 295 days, 1:51, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.15, 0.16
That's on a mail server (FC1) that handles about 4M messages a day.
It'd have a longer uptime but one of the RAM sticks blew up and I had
to take it down to replace it.
When it comes to production machines, I have complete faith in the
Linux
community that they are there to help and support the product.
They have supported me and I will support anyone that I can help.
Hear, hear! Our entire Unix-sh backend stuff is all Linux (RH7.x,
FC1/2/3). We chucked the HP/UX and Solaris machines over two years ago.
