“Linux is just getting started in the market. The
opportunities are immense — and so are the challenges.“
“Linux has proven itself as a Web server operating system.
Ecommerce is an obvious next step. And plenty of Linux-related
companies are targeting this potentially lucrative market. How
successful will they be?…”
“Linux vendors are counting on attracting a lot more companies
like eToys, one of the biggest ecommerce sites to include Linux in
its back shop operations. Kayne Grau, director of technical
services for the online toy store, calls Linux “the best choice for
the overall market today.” He appreciates the flexibility it offers
in modifying eToys’ army of Web servers. Maintaining good security
is another big plus, he says. “You can fix holes in a heartbeat,”
says Grau.”
