Great and Disappointing Operating Systems of the Decade
,----[ Quote ]
| GNU/Linux (especially 2.6.18+)
| Never has their been such an uproar in
| computing as a free kernel and free utilities--
| all done very well with rapid, mindful if
| darwinian skill. Linus Torvalds crafted Linux,
| and has been holding on for dear life ever
| since. Coupled with the GNU utilities and two
| main window manager branches (Gnome and KDE),
| Linux underpinnings now grace objects from tiny
| wristwatches and clever cell/mobile phones, to
| IBM mainframes and everything in between. The
| promise of Linux for civilians is slowly but
| surely being realized through distros like
| Ubuntu, Novell/SUSE, Mandrive, Knoppix, and
| others, but the enterprise server market
| belongs to Red Hat, Novell/SUSE, and
| communities formed around each of these. That
| doesn't mean that there isn't worth in the
| literally hundreds of distros out there.

Top five business technologies of the '00s

| 1. Linux. If you were going to name the '00s
| after any single technology, you might as well
| call it the Linux decade. The first Linux kernel
| was released in 1991, but mainstream enterprise
| adoption of Linux was decidedly a '00s thing.
| Not only did Linux open up a whole new role for
| x86 hardware, it changed the economics and
| development model of the software business
| forever.
