Demand for software based on the Linux operating system has
mushroomed in the last year and will quickly overtake all other
versions of Unix–combined, said Netscape co-founder Marc
Andreessen in an interview today. “Soon Linux will be bigger than
all Unix combined. The stage is set for broader-based use,”
Andreessen predicted. Andreessen believes Linux will be the first
operating system to support Intel’s Merced chip, and he believes
Intel’s investment in Linux is an important indicator of its
strategic direction.
