“If you think Linux is the choice of geeks only, think again.
Many of the large software vendors are now shipping Linux versions
of their software. In this article I’ll take you through some of
these product offerings. Be prepared, though: if you’re new to this
Linux world you’re going to find some interesting facts. The
majority of vendors are bringing their wares to this new and
exciting platform.”

“I’ve given you a small taste of the offerings from the “big
boys” of computing. As you can see, the platform for geeks is no
longer confined to the recesses of the hobbyist. The Linux
platform offers a cost-effective and flexible solution to the world
of computing. The availability of software isn’t a problem
anymore.”

“Linux has blown open the doors, with really only Microsoft
choosing not to enter. History alone will show whether this is a
wise or a strategically suicidal move. If you are one of the people
sitting on a fence about Linux, please – come off it and have a
look. It may surprise you.”
