Why Linux is not (yet) Ready for the Desktop v0.2.2
Don't agree with everything on there, but well thought out and some good points.

DNS server
Gallery picture web host
Wordpress blog site
Subsonic java/tomcat web music streamer
Logitech Squeezecenter server
SSH server
CIFS file sharing
Home automation (x10 controls)
etc...
It runs very fast and extremely stable. In fact I dad 140 days of uptime and the only reason it went down at all was because of a 8 hour power outage that killed my ups.
So no even I don't use it as a desktop. On my desktop and laptop I'll run cygwin if I need Unix like abilities.
