The beauty of Linux is that it can be almost any size truck you want (here I
take "truck" to be a metaphor for things like "power" and "stability"). Since
it is open source, you can mould it into anything you want. Linux can now be
used in everything from PDAs (e.g. Plam, Psion), smart appliances and set-top
boxes to enterprise-level servers. Micros~1 claim that their next version of
Windows NT (codenamed 'Whistler') will be able to do the same. I'd like to see
them try!
