“A survey made public today shows that usage of the Linux
operating system is growing at an ‘absolutely amazing level.'”
“The study, conducted by International Data Corp. (IDC), a
Framingham, Mass.-based research firm, indicates rapidly increasing
usage of the Linux operating environment among a large sampling of
organizations.”
“In a similar survey in 1997, IDC could not report any
conclusive findings about Linux because it was used by such a
statistically small percentage of survey respondents. However, 13.5
percent of respondents in the current study say they now use Linux,
or plan to add it within a few years.”
