“Linux emerges from the underworld to great acclaim-and support
from mainstream vendors”

“The industry is sitting atop something big, and it’s akin to
monitoring the flow of lava beneath the earth’s surface before the

“Paving the way to a future of open-source computing is Linux.
With its long history, strong community support, and technical
sensibility, Linux has gone from reigning OS of the underground
geek elite to near-mainstream success overnight. One gets the
feeling with Linux that the people have spoken, and that they are
finally being heard, with several key vendor announcements for
support and integration coinciding with the release of the Linux
Kernel 2.2.”
