“Some drivers contributing to the rise in Linux vale:

* There is a surge in Unix to Linux migrations happening in the
enterprise. The economy is partially responsible for this, as is
some of the natural fall out of aging applications and hardware and
the uncertainty in the Unix market as a whole.

* Linux clustering has rapidly evolved in the last year,
delivering great value to companies who make use of this.

* The rise of Linux in embedded devices of all kinds. You have
phones, GPS units, TVs, watches and many other devices all using
Linux. That means there are many more companies needing to hire
Linux talent.”
