apple ran into controversy for using the official UNIX logo on their
site. so you've gotta use the word *nix.

i could start this discussion, but as you can see, i have too many
discussion threads initiated.

besides, *you* are the one with the valuable insights and counterpoints.
so, everyone on the list, rahul has some thought-provoking questions to
ask, and look forward to his new thread on this, [fresh email], which
will contain a brief synopsis, and a challenge/response to all at
ilug-d. his questions and requests for clarifications will get you
scratching your head.

over to you, rahul, and please start a new, fresh, email as a new
thread.

best of luck

:-)

LL,
Your piece got me into spending some valuable (?) company time browsing
up on the GNU-Darwin. What i read reminds me of our discussion after the
ilugd meet over chai.
1. Apple is very much into opensource - not just Darwin.
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ps-faq.html

2. Apple sold about 734,000 desktops this quarter - which makes it the
highest *selling* Unix (as per one report). 
Since we were talking desktops that day, how many desktops due you
estimate Linux runs on?

BTW, what happened to the discussion over the definition of a Linux user
?
