>> You still don't get it ...
>> Linux is by no means a commercially usable product. It has too many
We use Linux with NFS, LinWare and Samba as a general CD-ROM server.
Users from all platforms (Unix, Novell and WfW) can now use the shared
CD-ROM's
We also use another Linux system for new users to practice Unix.
Another Linux system is used as an internal Web server.
I don't think Linux will replace our Novell of Windows NT servers but
it can be very usefull in a commercial enviroment.
