They're not Linux negative either, since Linux runs on SPARC. Reports
from around the net show that they are interested in Linux since it tends
to outrun Solaris on Intel and Solaris on SPARC.
Linux has a well thought out architecture and its file system is so-so.
Don't get me wrong, Linux's file system is OK, but there are better, more
resilient ones available. I'd like to see a Journaled File System that
would recover from heart attacks better. I've had more than a couple of
file systems get corrupted due to power failures and such. Other than
that one gripe I love Linux. I manage all of my Linux machines from OS/2
machines. Great combination.
OS/2 is a better Windows client than Windows, a better Unix client than
Windows, and a better Netware client than Windows....Let's face it. Its
better than Windows. :-)
