“Although most information technology managers remain aloof to
Linux, the free, Unix-like operating system is rapidly gaining
enough credibility to merit a look from users at major companies,
according to a Computerworld tracking survey.”
“Since February, the number that report either using or at least
considering Linux has grown by 72%.”
“Analysts, who have also noted rapidly rising interest, said
companies are taking notice of announcements from major vendors
like IBM and Hewlett-Packard Co. that agreed to support the
operating system.”
