: I have and so has several people I know. I had a friend who did nothing but set up linux servers. When XP came out, he dropped linux and started using pure XP servers. (Yes, he is linux certified, and also has a MSCV, he knows what he is talking about)

hmmm... interesting... I really think it depends on what you are trying to do with them. For website hosting, (for example) I would never use anything other than linux because:
1.- security issues with XP/2000 (yep, that IS a 130Mb "service pack")
2.- webserver speeds. take a look at the latest benchmarks, of apache2 (or even apache1.3) Vs. ISS. Also, there is free support for apache, I have yet to see any for ISS.
On the other hand, If i was selling workstations to a company, i would NOT sell linux, because people don;t know how to use it. THat have become dependant upon Micro$ofts version of modern day OS.
also, like i said, you do have to really use it for a while, and get the most out of it. I think the best way to learn is to buy Debian, and install everything for yourself, or complete a UML distro, without any external help.
but there ya go....
(anyway, if others can rant about banana's, why can't I rant about linux??)
