hello, I think as roni rightly suggested let those people send the files for whom it worked. and by the way please stay away from extrem statements which are mis guiding such as "gnu/linux is not suited for the desktop and it sucks ". I know quiet a few professional organisations using only gnu/linux on their desktops except for accounting work where they have to sue windows and tally. as JTD, Manoj and few others rightly point out, there are many cases which we know for that matter. and in my personal experience I do know a few organisations including BIUF and Aman trust etc. which run gnu/linux. and the work they do is mission critical. so friends I keep this repeating again and again, please don't make extrem statements on your personal knowledge. chances are that our knowledge is limited and falls short of correctness. so we can't draw conclusions on what we feel is the reality. regarsd, Krishnakant.
