I use mine for running our LUG which includes e-mail and web page 
production.  Also for writing features for various magazines and then 
there's the general admin stuff for running various servers as well.

I might be able to do this with MS Windows but all those peculiar 
licencing issues and the fact that I have to re-install every other 
week mean unnacteptable down time and a legal argument which is 
beyond the realms of our own solar system.

Much easier to use something that works  :))

Thanks
