Open source software is an idea whose time has finally come. For twenty years it has been building momentum in the technical cultures that built the Internet and the World Wide Web. Now it's breaking out into the commercial world, and that's changing all the rules. Are you ready?
Linux software is rapidly being integrated by government agencies and major corporate IT departments around the world. What are the reasons for this move? Linux is stable, configurable, flexible, and, most of all, customizable. It can be used in situations as diverse as real-time process control and as simple as traditional IT shop database applications. Furthermore, Linux provides corporate clients complete control over system configuration and upgrades.
