I’m still waiting for the mythical open source Exchange killer.

Microsoft complains about Linux and public domain, but Linux came out of Bell Labs more than a basement dweller in Finland, and Bell Labs was a Microsoft like company in many many key respects. Bell was fiercer and more successful than Microsoft on maintaining it’s monopoly for generations! It’s tech labs were laid-back campuses back in the fifties.

Microsoft dominated the PC age like Bell dominated the phone age. And today ... a new age is starting.

We are no longer in the phone age or the PC age.

Whatever happened to him, anyway?

Remember the “Lie List?” I still have a copy of that somewhere....

That’s an excellent testimony. What distro do you use?

I've probably messed around with just about every distro out there over the years. I still play around with new ones or new versions constantly. For servers though it is Red Hat. Come to think of it I have never made a technical support call to them, ever.
