   Indeed ... it's MAJOR $$$ these days !

   NOT sure what he meant by "serious" - pure
   whatever servers perhaps ?

   Those ARE "serious" - and at the moment I'd rec
   OpenBSD.

   But the word "serious" extends to MANY Big-$$$
   kinds of apps - text/marketing, GIS and Video
   and now "AI" access. Linux/Unix is NOT always
   the best for those alas - most everyone writes
   for Winders ... so GOTTA COPE.

   As for those servers ... for most Biz they're
   moving to 'cloud' apps. It's dangerous and
   stupid but they're doing it anyway. SEEMS
   so wunnerful ... and you don't need to hire
   any annoying smelly systems geeks !
