“Conference attendees, panelists like the look of Linux in
the enterprise.”

“Internet World besieged Manhattan last week, attempting to
inform the masses of everything new and fancy in the world of
e-this and e-that. I was there, helping to launch Linux for Suits:
The Linux and Open Source Executive Forum, sponsored by Linux
Journal. Doc Searls, event mastermind and Senior Editor to Linux
Journal, says, “Linux for Suits is about the new software building
trade that is growing up around both Linux and open source
software. It’s about understanding what this new trade is already
doing for business”. A stellar group of industry analysts, computer
hackers, business leaders, and one venture capitalist fielded
questions from the audience and shared ideas about the present and
future place of Linux and open-source software in the
enterprise.”
