Nonprofit chooses Ubuntu for servers, OpenOffice for desktops
,----[ Quote
| Ubuntu may not be the best choice technologically, but Canonical Ltd (which
| provides support for Ubuntu) is responsive and quick to address user issues,
| both through regular channels and personal contacts, Puttick said. In fact,
| Canonical called Oxford Archaeology for user input prior to a major
| conference six months ago, and all of Oxford Archaeology's suggested
| improvements were included in the new 8.04LTS version, he said.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.
|
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
