“Linux is expected to play an increasing role in e-commerce as
the computer operating system becomes stronger and more

“Linux has exploded into the corporate computing environment as
a substitute for Intel/Microsoft-based computing applications. …
It has become the operating system of choice for such applications
as serving pages on Internet sites, but hasn’t been able to break
into the high-end operations where Unix machines still rule for
heavy-duty chores like handling transactions for heavily trafficked
sites.”
” ‘To say it’s the next Solaris is premature,’ said Bob
Walter vice president of business development at Linuxcare, a Linux
services provider. ‘But it is maturing very
rapidly.’ “
