Why HP Still Believes In Unix
,----[ Quote ]
| A decade ago, Intel was shipping the Pentium II processor and Linux was a
| fringe operating system used by a few Internet fanatics. No one at the time
| would ever have thought the two in combination would be a match for Sun's
| SPARC/Solaris combination, HP's PA-RISC/HP-UX, IBM's POWER/AIX or SGI's
| MIPS/IRIX.

HP: Linux ready for mission-critical apps
,----[ Quote ]
| On whether the availability of different flavors of Linux will affect its
| adoption for mission-critical applications, Hergett said he did not think so.
|
| "In some ways it actually gives those decision makers more flexibility and
| more choices to choose from," he explained, adding that Unix has several

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
