“Linux shipments are predicted to grow faster than the total
shipments of all other client or server operated environments,
according to a report from IDC.”
“The research company estimates Linux commercial shipments will
increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25 per cent
from 1999 through to 2003, compared with a 10 per cent CAGR for all
other client operating environments and a 12 per cent CAGR for all
other server operating environments combined.”
“Throughout this year, IDC said it expects more and more
application vendors to port their offerings to Linux and hardware
vendors to continue to expand their available product lines running
Linux for server side projects.”
