“It hardly seems like a group intent on remaking the universe:
8,000 technology experts devoted to a software for running
computers called Linux that most nontechnical types haven’t even

Linux is breaking free of its grassroots beginnings and edging into
the mainstream.”

largest maker of chips for personal computers, could announce as
early as today a multimillion dollar investment in VA Research, a
Mountain View, Calif., maker of computers pre-loaded with
Linux.”
