| source in business? Lack of support? Lack of evangelism and marketing? Lack
| of training?
|
| I don't think it's any of those things, I just think it's just a matter of
| time. I worked at Red Hat for several years. When I worked there,
| conventional wisdom said that Linux was a toy, that it wasn't reliable or
| ready for mission-critical deployment. People sure aren't saying that
| anymore!
