A Linux special interest group of Interex (The International
Association of Hewlett-Packard Computing Professionals) is
forming.
The focus of the new group will be the use of the Linux
operating system in an enterprise or corporate environment.
Interex conducted a survey during August and September to assess
the interest in such a group.
The survey received responses from members in 11 countries, of
whom 55% use Linux in their businesses and reported an average of
10 Linux machines at their business site. One site reported using
300 Linux machines.
Interex has set up a mailing list for discussing Linux and is
considering other Linux support.
More information is on the Interex web
site.
Thanks to Evelyn Mitchell for her original report on the
linux-biz list.
