“Dell adds Linux PCs, Oracle endorses, and TurboLinux clusters
servers.
“The Linux faithful gathered for their twice-yearly
LinuxWorld Conference and Expo here, picking up some big-name
support along the way.”
“PC-makers, Compaq and IBM, also had large booths at LinuxWorld
and have committed to developing Linux-based PCs.
“But reinforced endorsement came from Dell, which already
preinstalls the open-source operating system on some systems.”
“Elsewhere on the show floor, database giant Oracle showed its
own signs of Linux fever. Oracle released a Linux version of its
Web publishing tool, WebDB, and announced a Linux version of its
Oracle8i database.”
