I’ve blogged about this before, but at my eye doctor’s office today I noticed that their computers are running Linux (I recognized the desktop interface widgets). They had a terminal window that accesses a command line/gui type doctor’s office application. One girl was getting trained on the system, and I kept hearing them say “dot dot enter”, which is a command to go up a directory in some Linux distributions. I also noticed that they had Thunderbird icons on their toolbar. Very cool! 🙂 Oh, and their website is powered by ColdFusion! According to Netcraft, their web server is running Windows 2000 and IIS, which kind of surprised me considering all the above mentioned technology choices.
