Red Hat on Mad Money
,----[ Quote ]
| Jim Whitehurst does a good job of publicly dismissing Microsoft while
| claiming not to compete with Windows. My favourite comment though has to
| be “I don’t see Oracle as really assaulting us”.

Meet the People Who Have Trillions Riding on Linux this Fall
,----[ Quote ]
| NYSE Euronext and its family of exchanges which include the NYSE, Euronext,
| Liffe, Alternext and NYSE Arca Options, operating in the US and Europe, now
| run on Red Hat Linux and look to Red Hat for support and services. Put it
| another way, over 4000 public companies and over $141 billion in daily stock
| transactions depend on Linux. The Chicago Mercantile exchange at last count
| traded 1.403 Billion contracts valued at $827 trillion annually.

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.

HP Linux servers bolster NYSE trading app
