“In January 1998 I began testing linux for our 911 Center here
in St. George Utah. We are the 911 Center for the South west corner
of Utah. In November of 1998 Testing was complete with great
success. I implemented Linux as the workstation for our 911 Center
using RedHat 5.2 and AfterStep as the windows manager. These
workstations get worked on 24 hrs a day seven days a week and run
several apps on screen.”
“Our uptime has been over 200 DAYS. This doesn’t even come close
to the reboot once a day with the Microsoft OS. I could give
several horror stories of when the dispatcher is in the middle of a
hot call, then had to reboot.”
