Actually the proprietary Linux systems like Xandros, Linspire and SUSE are doing quite well. The latter two are sold at CompUSA.

Agreed -- I use the Suse distribution regularly for technical applications, internet surfing, servers, and other chores. Bill is, and should be worried about the growing market share of Linux...

I don't use Linux anywhere, but as a DBA and CNA I am under the impression that Linux is very stable and is great for hosting databases. Isn't Novell about to go all-SUSE, running Netware NDS, basically, on SUSE-Linux hosts? Is the author a Microsoft mole?

Micro Center sells Tiger for $130, SUSE 9.3 for $100, and Linspire for $30-$100.

I was given a Dell PII with a wiped hd and downloded Knoppix 3.8 for it. Total cost, $0. BSD might be suitable for developers, but I have to say I'm very happy with my Linux box.
