Actually, that's quite impressive.  Linux is still looked at as a server
environment and not a "PC" environment.  So having that installed base is pretty
good as they can't all be "server" machines.  I finally bit the bullet over the
holidays and removed NT and installed Red Hat.  XBoard and GNUChess are part of
the install and they work great.

We're just getting into the Linux environment here.  I administer Oracle
databases, mainly on UNIX (HP and AIX), with a few on NT which I would like to
dump.  From everything I have heard it's a pretty stable platform.
