Absolutely, I had a university instructor that taught us both Windows NT and (I believe) Red Hat Linux in 1998, for running web servers. Linux made much more sense when thinking about a multi-user system running various services. I ended up dual booting Windows and Slackware to learn Linux, while also being able to use the software I was already familiar with on Windows. If Microsoft had gone deeply into POSIX for their consumer systems, I don't believe I would have switched over to Linux except for quality of life improvements that may have come about (which may have never happened). |
