“Imagine a mail server that runs for years without a reboot. Or
a network server that never crashes. It’s not as far-fetched as it
sounds. Hundreds of companies have discovered the secret to a
trouble-free network.
And it’s not Windows. It’s Linux. At its best, Linux is a
near-bulletproof, inexpensive alternative to Microsoft Windows.
Companies large and small are using it for all kinds of
applications, from Web servers to point-of-sale systems. And
industry analyst International Data Corporation says Linux’s server
market share has ballooned in the past year — growing 212 percent
to some 750,000 shipments. Even big guns like Dell,
Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Oracle are backing it.”
