>I see you capitalize "Computer Professional"... is it a name brand?
I downloaded the 2.0.0 kernel June 11, 1996 and built it.
It has been running since then - no reboots.
My system was built April 29, 1996 from a Slackware CD
with 1.2.13 kernel.
I have since gotten several components via ftp for add/upgrade.
I use the system continually as a test web/ftp server. I telnet
over my LAN from a windoze -95 system and edit everything in
place on the Linux filesystem. Virtual IP and virtual hosting
are working fine.
Being a complete idiot, I confine myself to C, Perl5, CGI, shell
scripting, HTML, SSI, and the like.
After testing things, I ftp them to the "real" server. My Linux
system is actually more versatile than the web hosting service.
I have been trying to find a local ISP who will let me put a Linux
system online, so I can offer anonymous ftp.
I guess I am not a "Computer Professional" because I didn't take
something out of a box, bark commands at it, and amaze my friends
and relatives.
When I get a CD recorder, I will be offering a distribution for
the "Computer Professionals" out there. It will be 100% freely
redistributable.
BTW - what is the typical street price for NT server OS?
How many users at that price? How many of you "Computer
Professionals" are running legal copies of your broken
toys?
