Is Windows losing out & Linux gaining?
The penguin?s come of age. What began as a battle between proprietary and open source Linux software, started by geeks around the world, isn?t plain tech rhetoric anymore. It?s now a mainstream commercial platform ? a technology that enterprises are taking very seriously and looking at as a major cost-effective solution that has scalability and a great future roadmap.
A free software that can be downloaded from the Web, Linux has a source code that?s open and therefore available for anyone to use, modify, and redistribute freely. Proprietary Unix and Windows operating systems aren?t available for such tweaking.
