<div dir="ltr">Does anyone know of any companies using Linux on the desktop that fit this non-technical description? I think with the ways Linux is going now a days, that's the (one of the) intended purpose, so it'd be great to see that in the field somewhere.<br>
<br>I'm by no means discounting the fact that Linux is in use in many of these "behind the scenes" areas, that's great, but part of it's greatness is also due to the fact that it can perform perfectly with no one knowing it's there, that it's Linux, or otherwise. Conscious use of Linux from day-to-day in a business would be another story, which I hope we can uncover.<br>
<br>I know there was a talk a while back from a couple who setup their Attorney's office with all Linux - could the two of you chime in here and recap how all of that's working out for you?<br><br><br>Thanks!<br>-Ian<br>

</div>When you say "unix like" what you really mean is POSIX.<br>
