You need to remember that for people like me, the applications and services running on the Linux box are most important.*grumble grumble grumbel ! *
We need DNS, DHCP, mail, instant messaging, file services, internet access, etc.
The inner workings as less important to people like me. We need servers that run reliably day after day. When things stop working, our users start shouting. We like Linux because it is reliable, stable and fast.
Linux is flexible enough to accommodate both our needs. Are you?
