Wikis work wonders at SpikeSource
,----[ Quote ]
| In addition to wikis, SpikeSource uses most of the products it
| supports, including Centric CRM, Drupal, and of course, Linux.
| "Ubuntu is a popular choice," Williams says, "and Red Hat we
| run quite a bit for our build and testing environment, using
| XenSource and VMware for virtualization."

| servers running Linux. Sun began to offer its version of the Unix
| operating system, Solaris, free to customers to compete better
| with Linux.
