I would say that it has found mainstream acceptance. It's hard to change people's minds. Linux was just a toy a few years ago. Now it is quite powerful and stable. People who are used to Solaris, say, are not going change immediately. With IBM, SGI, Sun and HP all offering Linux as an alternative to their in-house UNIX, it's become crystal clear that Linux is an excellent choice and the system most likely to prevail in the next decade. Certainly, BSD and others are good too, but Linux has the edge right now. That's one of the reasons I'm planning to go with Linux. I also think GPL licensing is giving Linux an edge on BSD. > A beer meeting at Brits Pub is happening right now in down town > Minneapolis if your interested. I wish I could. We have a meeting at 7:30 to make a decision about buying a house. If it weren't for that, I would definitely be there. I hope you do it often.
