Well, this is about as retarded a statement as I've seen on this list in years. I'll have you know that my company runs our DNS caching platform (10 machines x 65 core node locations aka central offices), our SecureID auth servers, about 4500 web/MX/SMTP servers and quite a few machines that I actually don't have root on using SUSE and Ubuntu. So if that's a dinky deployment .. as the other respondent said .. please step up and let us know what a large enterprise deployment of servers you have. Otherwise, I'd refrain from such comments.

I'd also add that our hosting devision runs all their MX/SMTP (mail) servers with Linux. Those 10 machines do an average of 3 million messages a day. I'd say that's pretty damn good.
