Joerg,

There are many people using Linux in production environments today. It is 
certainly "decently usable". 

Now, no-one is going to say that there is any OS or non-trivial library
that is completely free of bugs. Things just don't work that way.

There are probably many more users on Linux than any of the *nix's, so a 
more positive attitude might be to figure out the faults and figure out 
how to work around them. I imagine that thousands of developers around the 
world are doing just that. Polemics about the state of Linux and the 
libraries used on Linux just don't solve any problems.
