At the Naval Post Grad School, my Fedora laptop can do anything the Windows and Mac computers can do. This includes VPN, remote e-mail services, daily check-in, campus wide secure WiFi using a secure DoD certificates, printing, local/remote Intranet access, etc. Also, the school makes a lot of software (what's available) available to linux users. I've been a linux user for about 9 years now and I have never really had any complaints about not being able to do anything that I absolutely had to do.

It was 6 days and the Bible doesn't say that life only exists on Earth. I'd have to say that the majority of creation scientist believe that life on other planets is very probable. Bacteria can withstand a lot of extreme environments, including space travel. In fact, there are a lot of theories that bacteria thrown up into the atmosphere through collisions with meteorites on Earth could indeed disperse bacteria into space.
