Unix is definetly solid and has a place in every big business for sure. That statement sounds a bit more like rhetoric than fact, though, I don't see many places migrating to unix or linux. Almost all big business's have many servers -- unix, linux, NT, etc. It depends on what department, what it's going, etc. We use 'em all. >I don't think linux will overtake Windows anytime in the forseeable future, but >linux is here to stay.

I doubt anything we "know and love" will be around in 20 years; it's a cool industry, to be sure.
