I've been running Linux for over a year now as a platform for several different desktop and server applications. I've been reasonably impressed with its flexibility, compatibility, and overall viablility. As a rapidly growing internetworking services provider and turn-key ISP systems integrator, I often wonder if I could be using something even more robust. With the great price/performance ratio provided by the Pentium, I am inclined to stick with Intel rather than investing in Sun or Digital. Since the 'net provides such rich support resources for Linux and BSD, I can't imagine spending thousands on SCO or others. So, I'm wondering if some of you would be interesting in debating whether I should stick to Linux or try BSD. Have at it!
