,----[ Quote ]
| Wall Street firms increasingly are buying into Linux, but some still need
| convincing that open source licensing and support models won't make using the
| technology more trouble than its worth.

Wall Street still likes Linux, but for new reasons
,----[ Quote ]
| A few years ago, financial services firms tended to point to low cost and
| customizability of components as their major reasons for turning to Linux and
| open source. But at the Linux/Open Source on Wall Street show today,
| panelists devoted more of their remarks to topics such as multi-OS server
| consolidation on mainframes and creating realtime Linux applications for PC
| servers, aptly reflecting the growing complexity of software environments in
| financial firms and elsewhere.
|
| [...]
|
| Speaking with BetaNews later, however, Graves said that, in his opinion, the
| main benefit of Linux right now is that Linux appllications will run --
| either virtualized, or not -- on virtually any hardware system, including X86
| PCs and mainframes.
|
| Credit Suisse's Bubba, meanwhile, views the main benefit of Linux as lying in
| its wealth of real-time applications.

NYSE Euronext banks on Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| If anyone out there persists in believing that Linux isn't ready for serious
| prime time, NYSE Euronext's dependence on Red Hat should finally lay that
| silly notion to rest. As announced, the New York Stock Exchange Euronext
| dumped its proprietary UNIX heritage (AIX, HP UX, Solaris) for the freedom,
| flexibility, and performance of Linux.

HP Linux servers bolster NYSE trading app
,----[ Quote ]
| "We favor Linux for what we do. We don't want to be beholden to any one

| to be vendor-independent, so Linux was a good choice," said Rubinow.
