“If one thing was true at CeBIT 2000, it was that all things
Linux were the stars of the show. The number of new Linux companies
exhibiting at the show in Hanover, Germany, very likely equaled or
surpassed the number of new Linux users in attendance.”

“One such company is SOT Finnish Software Engineering, producers
of Best Linux OS2000, which for several years had only
been sold in Finland and Sweden. CeBIT
, which ran February 24
to March 1, was the distribution’s international
launch.”

” ‘Best Linux is already number one in Finland, with a market
share of more than 90 percent of Linux,’ according to Santeri
Kannisto, the company’s CEO.”
