“Music and video marketer K-Tel moved its Ktel.com Web site to a
Red Hat Linux based system at the beginning of December and has

said.”

“General Manager of K-Tel Online, Randy Malinoff told
dbusiness.com his company decided to change from running Sun
Microsystems Solaris to Red Hat because the company saw Red Hat
Linux as a more flexible system able to handle K-Tel?s redesigned
site planned for spring 2000 launch.”

In the two weeks its been running, our technical people
tell me its faster despite using two servers instead of
three
