Re: Why is this newsgroup called alt.OS.linux?



To: Ivan Marsh
I do like Linux, I trust the stability and security of it over Windows, but
in my 10 years of administration, I have not seen it much on the desktop PC
(unfortunately). Linux is used like UNIX servers- it is used for critical
systems such as radiology and security systems.
