Linux Gets a Big Boost

It's Linux day for the tech media. Microsoft admitted in an SEC filing
on
Friday that it expects Windows to face stiffer competition from Linux,
the
freebie Unix-based operating system favored by hackers and server geeks
alike. Also announced Friday, Intel and Netscape are among several
funders
investing in Red Hat Software - though official word was due at ISPCon
Fall
'98 in San Jose, Calif., during a presentation on Linux's future in
business, according to ZDNet.

The New York Times led Monday's business section with a feature on Red
Hat,
the North Carolina software developer that has tried to build a business

around selling Linux and developing software for it.

ZDNet's Jesse Berst filed a column this morning - a sort of backhanded
"I-told-you-so" laying out his vision of Linux's future. The piece is
coupled with a late Friday story on the Intel/Netscape investment, which

Robert Lemos called a "major symbolic blow to Microsoft Corp."
