10+1 things to tell your boss why you should migrate to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| A while ago somebody asked me what he could tell his boss to convince him to
| migrate to Linux, so I made him a small list.
| 1. Cost
|
| Bosses know calculators, so this is the number one thing to tell your boss
| why you should migrate to Linux. The total cost of ownership(TCO) of linux is
| lower than windows. While linux administrators are a little more expensive,
| they are a lot more efficient so this gives a benefit. The licensing costs
| are lower, you don't have to migrate to a new OS every few years, you can use
| the same hardware twice as long.

Red Hat: Crisis to boost open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The global economic crisis would provide a boost for open source software,
| Red Hat chief executive Jim Whitehurst claimed during a visit to Sydney this

| region, said in an interview with ZDNet Asia's sister site ZDNet Australia
| that the crisis would cause companies to consolidate their technology
| infrastructure and reduce spending.

No Recession at Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| It is flattering to be mentioned, Mr. Whitehurst said, but he noted that
| corporate customers and the industry benefit from what he called Red
| Hat’s “Switzerland status” — not being a province of one of the major powers
| in the technology industry.

,----[ Quote ]
| The VAR Guy thought Red Hat Exchange — an online store the software company
| launched last year — would be an overnight hit. It wasn’t. But after some
| tinkering, Red Hat Exchange (RHX) seems to be taking off — and giving
| partners like MySQL and Zimbra a lift as well. In fact, the site’s bookings
| doubled in Red Hat’s most recent quarter, The VAR Guy has learned. Here’s how
| Red Hat got RHX on track.
