“Salon.com … formerly… Salon Magazine, has adopted Linux as
its enterprise Internet server platform….”
“The server platform has moved from Windows NT to a customized
version of the Red Hat 5.2 distribution of Linux. The site is
moving its critical business functions, Web serving and ad serving
to the Linux platform in order to support Salon.com’s growing
needs.”
“Says Chad Dickerson, Vice President of Technology, “For a
growing company like Salon, Linux is the best of all worlds…”
“Another benefit,” adds Dickerson, “is that with Linux, we were
able to leverage our existing investment in Intel Pentium-based
hardware…”
“According to Dickerson, Linux will provide a solid technical
backbone to support Salon’s move from a magazine-based model to a
network of web sites…”
