A free DIY operating system that has developed a cult following
on the Internet is now posing a serious threat to Microsoft’s
Windows NT. What lies behind the rapid rise of Linux?

officer, told Computer Weekly magazine last week that Linux scored
for reliability: “We have installed 67 Linux machines, and while we
have to reboot our NT4 server two or three times a week, we only
need to reboot a Linux server every few months.”
