Thank you all folks. I don't know much about Linux. But I would like to use the analogy that Cisco engineers are like traffic officers in major intersections in a city and Linux (Lexus), Microsoft (Mercedes), Solaris (Saab), Visual+ (Volvo) engineers are like thousands of drivers passing through these intersections. As the traffic gets heavy, those intersections will get bog down and another intersections will be build to accomodate the throughput of the traffics. But the Lexus, Mercedes, Saab and Volvo engineers will build more bigger, faster and powerful sofisticated cars to get the most out of the infrastructures and elicit more customers to learn how to drive their cars.
But the trouble is that the city is not expanding or get connected with another cities (hats off to the mayor Bush). Seems to me that there will be plenty of fuel and asphalt to build the road and power the cars. But the land is limited and more cars will be build to meet the insatiable consumer appetite. But soon the automations will catch up with the demand and the traffic officers will standing in his post like the Maytag technician. Worst of all, more traffic officers will become increasingly territorial to new and old alike. They will use the terms like 'ph'd' and 'lab rat' to boost their egos and deter others who are trying to enter into their realm. Yes, I love the challenge and that's what I'm doing right now. But I'll seriously reconsider if my presence becomes a threat to another traffic officer's pizza and the only choice I'll be left with is a big mac. Looks like Linux (open system for free) provide you that unhostile pizzaria and more. Your friendly insignt is appreciated.
