Ten years of IBM mainframe Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in February 1999, IBM announced it 
| would work with Red Hat to support Linux. 
| By May 2000, Linux moved from being an 
| experiment on mainframes to being a fully 
| supported option. And in 2001, IBM 
| announced it was spending a billion bucks 
| that year on Linux. It wasn't that big an 
| expense; as Bill Zeitler, IBM's senior 
| vice president and group executive for 
| eServer at the time, explained, "We've 
| recouped most of it in the first year in 
| sales of software and systems."

Evolution of Linux computing and its implications

,----[ Quote ]
| Today Linux is acknowledged to be the 
| ideal operating system amongst programmers 
| and application intense users. This is not 
| to say that UNIX solutions have developed 
| problems, but simply that Linux continues 
| to be increasingly capable of doing the 
| task that has typically been expected of 
| Unix, and in many instances does so more 
| effectively and efficiently.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
