#  Hi there,
#                 I'd just like to kow how popular is Linux 
#within industry
#and what exactly is it used for??
#
# -  Is its software packet filtering package, ipchains being used as a
#firewall by many companies or due to its limited security
#    or companies almost mandatorily forced to buy dedicated 
#solutions like a
#Cisco's PIX
#
# -  Is it popular as a fileserver through Samba or is NFS the 
#perferred Unix
#solution and the mapping of drives/disk administrator 
#    the perferred option for windows. 
#
# -  What about as a router, mailserver, web server, dns server 
#etc.etc.?
#
# How widely used and for what purposes is Linux becoming the industry
#standard ??
#
#Does anyone have a concrete answer.
#Thanks in advance
