Linux is the standard server OS and, for techs at least, workstation
OS here at ParaLynx. We have a couple of other Unices in service but
they're considered legacy from the MIND LINK! and Wimsey days and
will be replaced with Linux in the future.
Corporate web services, SMTP and POP servers, our mailing list box,
one DNS server, one RADIUS server, and our news transit server all run
under Linux.
I ported the MIND LINK! BBS software to Linux ages ago but there's one
nasty lockup bug that I haven't taken the time to track down yet, so
it's still running under SCO. Once the production BBS moves to Linux
I'll really be cheering. :-)
