“Linux, The Alternative Operating System, Has More
Supporters Than You’d Think, And They’re Starting To Get
Louder….“
“Linux’ impact on the computer industry grows every day.
Byte.com, the online successor to Byte Magazine, recognized that
impact with its Comdex Best of Show award, pointing out that the
Linux area on the show floor was “larger than the first Windows
Pavilion years ago.” Byte’s Best Software award went to Corel,
which is not only making an excellent business suite of tools
available for Linux, but is also marketing its own version of the
Linux operating system. You might be more familiar with Corel for
its program Word Perfect, one of the original — and best — word
processing programs for the PC.”
“PC Magazine named Linus Torvalds its Person of the Year,
recognizing him for developing Linux, versions of which are now
distributed by Caldera, Corel, IBM, Informix, Red Hat, and Sun,
among others.”
