Re: what's the killer app for GNU/Linux systems?

So I give up and ask you, what's your killer app(s)?

The Linux kernel is the killer app because of the wide range of
hardware it runs on which brings a fairly consistent operating
environment to whatever hardware it is running on. Linux has proven
the validity of the GPL.
