Was pleased to see that Linux's official growth last year was 92% (now
1.3 million Linux servers in _official_ use), also a questionnaire
handed out for networkcomputing's Linux article "does your org plan to
implement Linux, and when?" came back with 23% "have already
implemented".

Interestingly, 65% (two thirds) of the objections tallied in that
article added up to "we're worried about support for it".

Linux will not get in the door by simply mentioning it... it must win
by proving itself superior. We have no marketing department, our sales
department is an FTP server in North Carolina and our programming
department spans seven continents. Am I getting through? -- Signal11
