“SGI, HP and Oracle are stepping up their commitments to use the
Linux operating system.”
“Silicon Graphics Inc. is expected to announce next week that it
will make Linux a primary offering across much of its product line
of workstation and server computers. Hewlett-Packard Co. is
sponsoring a Web site aimed at linking companies interested in
Linux projects with programmers who are experienced in Linux and
other “open source” software products. Oracle Corp., which
announced Linux support last year, plans on releasing a Linux
version of its database software for use on mobile computers.”
“The announcements are scheduled to coincide with a trade show
in Raleigh, N.C., that opens Tuesday.”
