Andreessen said he heard organizations from the Department of
Defense to European car manufacturers express interest in getting
to know Linux.
“What we’re basically doing is moving to fully support Linux in
our product family, alongside NT, Solaris, and HP-UX as our primary
server platforms,” said Andreessen. “Our investment in Red Hat will
allow them to boost their corporate offerings for Linux, which is
critical for [its] broad-based corporate acceptance.”
