“Linux is the hottest topic in the operating system arena,
though it remains an enigma in the marketplace, IDC Australia
analyst John Blair says.”
“In IDC’s recent survey of the server operating system (OS)
market, the free software didn’t rate a mention: Blair says the
reason is no servers are shipped to Australia with Linux
installed.”
“‘At the same time, IDC’s end-user research shows that a
significant number of organizations are piloting the use of Linux
on servers,’ Blair reported.”
