“This is a brief rundown of what transpired when one of our
colleagues gave a presentation of the growth of Linux in Business
to around 500 influential Australian IT-industry movers and
shakers.”

“On Wednesday, January the 20th, 1999, Westan, a large PC
hardware distributor here in Australia, hosted a major industry and
reseller event. On hand were the contingent from Cybersource headed
by Richard Keech, Manager of Red Hat Support at Cybersource.
Richard went on to present a paper titled Will Linux rival
Microsoft?, and the event proved to be a wonderful platform for
serious advocacy of using Linux in Business.”
