NT was used - although in much smaller numbers and some NT machines
were converted to Linux during the course of action.  Read Linux Journal
article for details (it is, or was, available also on line).

Digital sells NT and that is about it (oh, and they employ not only
Jay but also a lot of "used car salesman" types :-).
