> Microsoft. Many Linux system administrators protested and said that 
> Linux was not well tuned. Thank you all who pointed me to the rebuttals 
> that were written by people that had time to look into the details a 
> little more than I did. The whole thing created quite a stir again in

> None of them do.  I install, use, and support NT, Solaris, Linux,
