“The infatuation with Linux is spreading like wildfire from
Internet service providers to deep into the enterprise, as
evidenced by the parade at this week’s LinuxWorld Expo of corporate
vendors deploying their wares for the open-source operating
system.”
“New Linux systems are giving businesses the ability to cobble
together low-cost Intel-based servers for Internet needs and
perform application hosting with a proven level of reliability —
all with a newly available supply of service and support.”
“Two database vendors preparing to answer the call for Linux
this week are Sybase and Oracle. Sybase will announce at LinuxWorld
that it is extending Linux support beyond its SQL Anywhere and
Adaptive Server databases to its Adaptive Server Enterprise 11.92,
Sybase Enterprise Application Server 3.0, and Replication Server
4.0 products.”
