Is there a limit to the amount of users that can connect to a Linux Server?

I have just installed RedHat 8. I have Mandrake 7.2
I have tried a few times to intall Linux and have had problems. Even though I had the problems and no one local to help, I stuck it out and now have a successful installation and am able to access the internet (this has been a problem before with en cards)
I am trying to get the company I work for to also start using Linux. My boss just wants to know if there are limits to users or is that just a Microsoft thing.
By the way, my last name is Gates, does that mean I have Blasphemed?

There are no limits on the number of users. You have some pretty vintage distros there; mandrake is up to 9.2 and red hat is coming out with the successor to 9 so you might want to take a look at some more recent distros. Main reason, software is easier to find on more recent distros and hardware detection is vastly improved. If you do try a newer version, I would not try an upgrade install; they're all pretty bad. Do a clean install.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to cut out some time to goto Linuxiso.org to get the recent versions. I am probably going to get the new RedHat and Mandrake. I don't really know about the others.
