“The free operating system is set to reach a new high with
several companies announcing support.”
“… in India, forget management, even IS personnel are pretty
low on Linux awareness. As SN Dutt, Chief Engineer, Hindustan
Times, commented when asked about HT using Linux, “First tell me,
what’s Linux?” The difference is not much across the length and
breadth of corporate India. Even if people are aware of it,
adoption of the OS has been few.”
“Now there is some good news for corporates willing to test
Linux but apprehensive about the same. HCL Infosystem is the first
company which has launched a support program for Linux. It is
offering its `Linuxpertise’ for corporate and ISPs.”
“Though companies like Compaq and HP have introduced Linux-based
product worldwide, they are still to go the whole hog in
India.”
“… in India… over the past three years around 180,000
CD-ROMs with Linux have been distributed by magazines like PC
Quest.”
