"The free operating system Linux is proliferating in
the solutions marketplace, as more than a third of solution
providers and end-customer companies in North America plug in Linux
solutions, according to Reality Research & Consulting.
Among solution providers, 44 percent are reselling or
recommending Linux to end-customer companies, according to
Reality's Channel Panel. In comparison, 96 percent cite Windows NT
Server , 50 percent name NetWare (all versions) and 37 percent
point to Unix (all versions) as operating systems they currently
resell or recommend. The research garnered 3,710 responses earlier
in 2001."
