[vox] Survey: What do YOU use Linux for?

[Mike Neal]

Hi,

I teach community college classes in network operating systems and I.S. 
security. After years of NetWare and NT/2000/2003, Linux is a real delight. 
Students don't have to pay for any of the software and a home network is 
cheap enough for almost everyone.  They can play with anythingmail servers 
one week, protocol analyzers the next. The open source community is still 
all about freedom, roll-your-own, tons of resources and let's help each 
other solve problems, all the stuff that makes learning fun. To stay 
current, Linux supports our home net with iptables and NAT, postfix, 
spamassasin, apache, bind9, DHCP, SAMBA and a slew of security tools.

I can't imagine ever teaching closed source again.

Cheers, Mike
