Just curious about something. How many of the list members
are using
Linux in the workplace and how?
I think it would be encouraging to see who's doing what
with it, and
which distro's, whether they're seeing an increase in business because of Linux and what
interesting things
they're doing with Linux.
It might prove to be an interesting source of information
for
newbie's to know what can be done with Linux, especially when it's applied in a production environment.
We see all
kinds of articles regarding Linux, but
it's very hard to contact those people to see how something
was done,
and what Tips 'n' Tricks were used
to accomplish a particular task.
MandrakeSoft has a special site
(http://www.mandrakebizcases.com ),
that allows anyone to post their particular application of Linux, but for the most part you
can't get
the hands-on info from those companies or individuals.
Is this something we could/should add to the Twiki site? Comments?

I've been using linux since just before Redhat 4 if memory serves.. so a few years.. I swapped to mandrake around mdk7.2 time and have not looked back.
I've tried slackware, debian, caldera, coral, land a heap of others as well, but mdk and rh have always been "the choice" for me because I find getting the job done fast more important then steet cred.
I've setup dozens of business's in perth with linux servers, many are just internet gateways, others are file servers and more are combinations thereof..
myself, I have about 6 linux servers and I use them to host websites for companies.. all the servers are mandrake now.
my home network is a samba file server (mdk9.0) and my DNS server is also a mandrake box.
