“Supporters of Linux now have additional documentation on which
to base their enthusiastic projections.”

“Preliminary results of a survey of Linux manageability issues,
conducted at last month’s CAWorld in New Orleans, suggest that the
platform is about to spread its wings in some major new
directions.”

“‘One of the most interesting findings was the interest
expressed by enterprise-type [customers] in expanding Linux beyond
its traditional use in Web server [environments],’ notes Ken
Farber, director of the MERIT (Maximizing Efficiency of Resources
in IT) project, an advisory council of clients and business
partners that sponsored the survey.”
