“The most popular operating system for developers writing
software for the Oracle platform is not Microsoft Windows NT. It’s
not Sun Solaris. It’s the open source upstart, Linux.”
“That is why Oracle decided to port its software to the Linux
operating system before most other major software and computing
systems vendors. Both Oracle and industry analysts expect a big
growth spurt for the operating system in the next five years. The
company now says everything they make will now run on Linux.”
“Oracle was one of the first vendors to ship Web publishing and
java development tools for Linux earlier this year. In August,
Oracle became the first major applications server vendor to put its
enterprise edition on Linux.”
