ABSTRACT

In my talk I would like to outline where Linux is currently used in productive environments at our customers and which roles it commonly plays, e.g. what kind of services are the popular ones (File Services, Databases, Networking Infrastructure).

I also will talk about the advantages of Linux and free Software in general for the professional user, but also point at some current disadvantages and limitations and what is being done to work around these limitations (overview about ongoing projects both free and commercial). Some words about FUD and Linux Advocacy will also be said.
