Fujitsu Gets, Gives Value to Linux 

,----[ Quote ]
| If asked to name significant Linux 
| organizations, Fujitsu Ltd. might not be a 
| company that comes immediately to mind. But to 
| underestimate the value Fujitsu brings to the 
| Linux ecosystem would be erroneous: the 
| world's fourth-largest IT services provider 
| and Japan's top IT company has a big stake in 
| Linux, and some big-name Linux customers.
|
| Just how big? Currently, Fujitsu is the 
| number-two server vendor contributor to Linux 
| kernel development, behind IBM. Their Linux 
| deployments include the replacement of 
| existing mainframes at the Japan Ministry of 
| Justice and the Tokyo Stock Exchange--systems 
| that are recognized as being among the 
| strongest Linux deployments in the world in 
| terms of size and reliability.
| 
| So how did Fujitsu, a company with a strong 
| history selling mainframes with proprietary 
| operating systems, become such a leader in the 
| Linux ecosystem? Like many other vendors, it 
| was the customer who guided the way.

How Social Networking Works

,----[ Quote ]
| The first thing that jumps out at you is that 
| they're almost all based on open-source 
| software. For example, the operating systems 
| behind Twitter, LinkedIn, and MySpace are all 
| Linux. Facebook uses F5 Big-IP, which is a 
| family of Linux-based appliances that also 
| perform network management.
