> ZinePaint

Never heard of it, which is a problem with FLOSS software, it doesn't get the same marketing.

> Font Forge

Fontlab Studio. Never tried it, but it came up in Google on my first search.

> Pidgin

Pidgin is crap for one, but not the question. Trillian is much better, and both free and non-free.

> Firefox

Slow but not the question (Chrome or Iron are great). There are no non-free browsers of significance.

> Apache (Duh, IIS isn't)

That's your opinion, which is worthless. Apache can't do ASP.NET so it doesn't compare to IIS. IIS7 is excellent by the way, try it. I prefer Apache for some things, IIS for another, as each has its strengths (IIS being great internally where it's less open).

> SQLite

Using SQLite will prevent a company from getting government contracts. Government agencies want SQL Server because it is remote (SQLite is machine local), and is in fact highly secure for their purposes (my company has a lot of experience in this department).

> Windows as a server OS?

Windows Server 2003 and 2008/R2 are fine if you know how to set them up (same as Linux/UNIX/Solaris). You need Windows Server for Exchange and AD, Samba simply isn't there yet for large organizations with multi-domain setups and integrated Exchange (again, my company's experience is here). I do hope Samba gets there someday and for a free Exchange alternative that does email, calendar, meetings, scheduling, etc.

> Without LVM and software RAID?

Don't do software RAID. Do hardware RAID with SAS. I don't bother with LVM, it isn't necessary in any setup I've ever seen.

> Solaris with ZFS...

Is dying, and can't support a Windows network setup. I only use Solaris in Windows environments for DNS and routing.

> I'm a troll today

That's fine, just take it easy and remember that Linux and FLOSS are not the solution to every problem and simply never will be.
