“Japan’s major computer makers are coming to grips with the
Linux operating system (OS) by offering customers new server models
that either have Linux preinstalled or included as part of a
package.”
“The computer makers are now offering support, including
software patches, for solving any problems that users encounter
with the Linux OS, as they do for their own OS products. Some even
provide remote monitoring of customer servers on an
around-the-clock basis.”
“These moves mean that the Linux OS appears to be set to
begin making inroads into corporate core computer
systems.“
