MSNBC discovers Linux

Written By

Oct 8, 1998

I guess this is what a “portal site” is all about. Suddenly,
there are dozens, possibly hundreds of Linux stories on MSNBC. And
all of them I saw were newly packaged reruns of old ZDNET
articles.

And you have to believe someone at MSNBC is in the closet loving
Linux. Check out this sequential listing from the main MSNBC
Technology URL menu:

  • Enterprise databases move to Linux
  • Linux backing is good, bad for Be
  • IBM preps powerful workstations
  • Goofs and Glitches
  • MS to fix Win 98 bugs – next year
  • Crawl into the Bugs BBS
