“With Linux Expo in Raleigh, it’s interesting to see that
America Online is taking a hard look at this Windows
alternative.”
“AOL’s strategy is to offer subscribers new ways of getting
online, which could involve devices that are more like appliances
than PCs. Word is that AOL is planning to use Linux as the software
core of one such device…”
“Beyond that, Linux is generating a lot of enthusiasm outside
its normal audience of programmers. Sure, big companies like
Silicon Graphics and Hewlett-Packard, not to mention Oracle and
IBM, are making Linux initiatives, but not only corporate types are
looking. Average PC users are asking whether they can put it into
their machines.’
