Come on, Rob. The Internet doesn't run on Linux any more than companies run on Oracle. And what runs on phones and appliances could hardly be called operating systems.

You may have a strange idea of what an operating system is.

Android is based on linux and is considered an operating system. Apple's IOS is also an operating system. You won't find much else out there on phones and mobile devices - PalmOS, BlackberryOS, Symbian, etc are long out of play.

Great lots of Internet servers run linux, but some run FreeBSD or windoze; all of which are considered operating systems. Juniper, Arista, ubiquity, and many others in the router/switch arena use either linux or FreeBSD as their control operating system.

In terms of database systems, Oracle does have the largest share of corporate use, but only ~33% (followed by mysql, sql server, and postgresql). Lots of companies effectively -do- "run on oracle".

So yes, Rob is correct.

z!
