Plumber's 350 Linux desktops bonanza for Yellowfin BI

,----[ Quote ]
| Plumbing World in New Zealand migrated to Linux on about 350 PCs throughout
| its 30 branches, which proved to be a boon for the cross-platform Yellowfin
| BI as the Business Objects application didn't run on Linux.
|
| The Linux desktop project was performed with Catalyst IT Limited, a
| Wellington-based IT consultancy that specializes in open source software.

SaaS, Open Source and the Migration of Burden

,----[ Quote ]
| Just the week before I had a reporter ask me how Linux is going to deal with
| the threat of cloud computing. The threat? I told her that virtually all of
| the major cloud computing initiatives (except Microsoft’s) are built on
| Linux. (There is a potential displacement there for Linux distribution
| vendors but that’s another topic.) Linux as a platform is the enabling
| backbone of software as a service and cloud computing.
