Uses for Linux

The open-source nature of Linux has lead to its use in far more applications than anyone would have imagined ten years ago.
The versatility of Linux is a credit to its developers and its development model.
- Linux has been run, unmodified, on everything from wristwatches to mainframes.
- Linux already runs on every major 64-bit platform, including Opteron (AMD's x86-64), Itanium, Alpha, UltraSPARC, MIPS, PowerPC, and PA-RISC.
