mission&nbsp;critical,&nbsp;reliable&nbsp;platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
The&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;market&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
This&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;one&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;and&nbsp;lucrative&nbsp;markets&nbsp;for&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;to&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
displace.&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;has&nbsp;a&nbsp;tight&nbsp;grip&nbsp;on&nbsp;this&nbsp;market&nbsp;and&nbsp;will&nbsp;not&nbsp;give&nbsp;it&nbsp;up&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
without&nbsp;a&nbsp;fight.&nbsp;The&nbsp;way&nbsp;to&nbsp;win&nbsp;this&nbsp;war&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;wage&nbsp;the&nbsp;battle&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
corporate&nbsp;desktop,&nbsp;not&nbsp;the&nbsp;home&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
market,&nbsp;and&nbsp;here's&nbsp;why.&nbsp;When&nbsp;you&nbsp;go&nbsp;to&nbsp;work,&nbsp;you&nbsp;sit&nbsp;down,&nbsp;you&nbsp;then&nbsp;start&nbsp;in&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
on&nbsp;your&nbsp;day&nbsp;to&nbsp;day&nbsp;tasks&nbsp;like,&nbsp;email,&nbsp;typing&nbsp;that&nbsp;word&nbsp;document&nbsp;or&nbsp;building&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
that&nbsp;presentation.&nbsp;Because&nbsp;of&nbsp;this&nbsp;routine,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Windows&nbsp;interface&nbsp;and&nbsp;office&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
applications&nbsp;have&nbsp;now&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
become&nbsp;second&nbsp;nature&nbsp;to&nbsp;you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
The&nbsp;first&nbsp;thing&nbsp;the&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;industry&nbsp;needs&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;is&nbsp;produce&nbsp;a&nbsp;stable&nbsp;robust&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
window&nbsp;manager&nbsp;that&nbsp;emulates&nbsp;the&nbsp;Windows&nbsp;9x/NT&nbsp;interface.&nbsp;There&nbsp;are&nbsp;currently&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
two&nbsp;great&nbsp;window&nbsp;managers&nbsp;that&nbsp;fit&nbsp;the&nbsp;bill&nbsp;and&nbsp;accomplish&nbsp;this&nbsp;task&nbsp;well,&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
GNOME&nbsp;and&nbsp;KDE&nbsp;(more&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
this&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;later&nbsp;article).&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;very&nbsp;strategic&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;costs&nbsp;associated&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
with&nbsp;retraining&nbsp;users&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;environment&nbsp;(look&nbsp;at&nbsp;what&nbsp;IE4&nbsp;did&nbsp;to&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
productivity).&nbsp;The&nbsp;second&nbsp;item&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;agenda&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;a&nbsp;productivity&nbsp;suite&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
that&nbsp;emulates&nbsp;the&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Office&nbsp;look&nbsp;and&nbsp;feel&nbsp;so&nbsp;that&nbsp;your&nbsp;users&nbsp;don't&nbsp;go&nbsp;into&nbsp;withdrawl&nbsp;or&nbsp;rebellion&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
because&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;overwhelmed&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;interface.&nbsp;StarOffice&nbsp;5.0&nbsp;does&nbsp;this&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
very&nbsp;well.&nbsp;Once&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;the&nbsp;user&nbsp;interface&nbsp;and&nbsp;applications&nbsp;welded&nbsp;together,&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
then-and&nbsp;only&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
then-are&nbsp;you&nbsp;ready&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;battle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
One&nbsp;other&nbsp;advantage&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;brings&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;is&nbsp;stability&nbsp;and&nbsp;control.&nbsp;The&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Linux&nbsp;environment&nbsp;is&nbsp;very&nbsp;robust&nbsp;and&nbsp;secure.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;allows&nbsp;IT&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep&nbsp;users&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
out&nbsp;of&nbsp;key&nbsp;system&nbsp;areas&nbsp;that&nbsp;can&nbsp;get&nbsp;them&nbsp;in&nbsp;trouble&nbsp;(I&nbsp;know&nbsp;this&nbsp;from&nbsp;my&nbsp;own&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
personal&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
experiences).&nbsp;Windows&nbsp;is&nbsp;very&nbsp;lax&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;area&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;why&nbsp;support&nbsp;costs&nbsp;are&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
so&nbsp;high&nbsp;with&nbsp;Windows&nbsp;in&nbsp;general.&nbsp;These&nbsp;costs&nbsp;are&nbsp;usually&nbsp;associated&nbsp;with&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
employees&nbsp;downloading&nbsp;or&nbsp;purchasing&nbsp;that&nbsp;new&nbsp;&quot;Gee,&nbsp;this&nbsp;is&nbsp;neat&quot;&nbsp;gizmo&nbsp;which&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
winds&nbsp;up&nbsp;totally&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
wreaking&nbsp;havoc&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;system.&nbsp;A&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;these&nbsp;gizmos&nbsp;exist&nbsp;for&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;as&nbsp;well&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
but,&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;does&nbsp;a&nbsp;much&nbsp;better&nbsp;job&nbsp;at&nbsp;protecting&nbsp;itself&nbsp;from&nbsp;poorly&nbsp;written&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
software&nbsp;and&nbsp;non-technical&nbsp;users.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
The&nbsp;enterprise&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
The&nbsp;final&nbsp;frontier.&nbsp;This&nbsp;could&nbsp;be&nbsp;one&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;toughest&nbsp;areas&nbsp;for&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
successes,&nbsp;unless&nbsp;big&nbsp;companies&nbsp;like&nbsp;IBM,&nbsp;HP&nbsp;or&nbsp;SUN&nbsp;completely&nbsp;toss&nbsp;out&nbsp;their&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
proprietary&nbsp;UNIX's,&nbsp;and&nbsp;start&nbsp;developing&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;open&nbsp;source&nbsp;Linux.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Now,&nbsp;hold&nbsp;on&nbsp;before&nbsp;you&nbsp;let&nbsp;the&nbsp;flame&nbsp;throwers&nbsp;rip.&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;is&nbsp;lacking&nbsp;in&nbsp;some&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
very&nbsp;key&nbsp;areas&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;big&nbsp;companies&nbsp;have&nbsp;poured&nbsp;millions&nbsp;of&nbsp;dollars&nbsp;into&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
development&nbsp;on.&nbsp;These&nbsp;areas&nbsp;are:&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Systems&nbsp;management&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
how&nbsp;do&nbsp;you&nbsp;partition&nbsp;a&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;test&nbsp;and&nbsp;production&nbsp;region&nbsp;or&nbsp;shared&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
memory&nbsp;spaces&nbsp;<BR>
Directory&nbsp;services&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
we&nbsp;need&nbsp;a&nbsp;robust&nbsp;and&nbsp;scalable&nbsp;LDAP&nbsp;server&nbsp;<BR>
Clustering&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
the&nbsp;type&nbsp;of&nbsp;clustering&nbsp;that&nbsp;makes&nbsp;4&nbsp;UNIX&nbsp;boxes&nbsp;look&nbsp;like&nbsp;a&nbsp;single&nbsp;OS&nbsp;image&nbsp;<BR>
and&nbsp;the&nbsp;list&nbsp;goes&nbsp;on.&nbsp;These&nbsp;are&nbsp;critical&nbsp;areas&nbsp;that&nbsp;will&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;addressed&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
before&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;consider&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;an&nbsp;alternative&nbsp;to&nbsp;commercial&nbsp;UNIX's.&nbsp;The&nbsp;good&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
news&nbsp;here&nbsp;is,&nbsp;NT&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;have&nbsp;this&nbsp;ability&nbsp;either&nbsp;and&nbsp;will&nbsp;not&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
foreseeable&nbsp;future.&nbsp;For&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
small&nbsp;company,&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;can&nbsp;deliver&nbsp;high&nbsp;availability&nbsp;and&nbsp;scalability&nbsp;that&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
applications&nbsp;like&nbsp;databases&nbsp;and&nbsp;ERP&nbsp;systems&nbsp;require.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
As&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;see,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;community&nbsp;has&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;work&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;to&nbsp;close&nbsp;the&nbsp;gap&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
on&nbsp;Windows.&nbsp;Don't&nbsp;get&nbsp;discouraged,&nbsp;the&nbsp;gap&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;as&nbsp;big&nbsp;as&nbsp;it&nbsp;seems.&nbsp;There&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
have&nbsp;been&nbsp;many&nbsp;key&nbsp;announcements&nbsp;of&nbsp;recent&nbsp;from&nbsp;major&nbsp;corporations&nbsp;that&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
deliver&nbsp;many&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;key&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
components&nbsp;that&nbsp;are&nbsp;necessary&nbsp;to&nbsp;run&nbsp;your&nbsp;business.&nbsp;This&nbsp;can&nbsp;give&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
chance&nbsp;to&nbsp;change&nbsp;history&nbsp;just&nbsp;as&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;did&nbsp;with&nbsp;Windows.&nbsp;If&nbsp;we&nbsp;set&nbsp;our&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
priorities&nbsp;and&nbsp;attack&nbsp;these&nbsp;critical&nbsp;areas,&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;a&nbsp;huge&nbsp;success.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
There&nbsp;is&nbsp;one&nbsp;last&nbsp;topic&nbsp;that&nbsp;needs&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;mentioned&nbsp;about&nbsp;Linux,&nbsp;the&nbsp;industry&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
and&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;developers&nbsp;can&nbsp;not&nbsp;afford&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;become&nbsp;fragmented&nbsp;with&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
different&nbsp;versions&nbsp;of&nbsp;kernels&nbsp;and&nbsp;libraries.&nbsp;This&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;the&nbsp;death&nbsp;knell&nbsp;for&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Linux&nbsp;as&nbsp;it&nbsp;almost&nbsp;was&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
for&nbsp;the&nbsp;commercial&nbsp;UNIX's.&nbsp;Linus,&nbsp;Alan&nbsp;Cox&nbsp;and&nbsp;other&nbsp;key&nbsp;contributors&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
maintain&nbsp;an&nbsp;active&nbsp;role&nbsp;in&nbsp;kernel&nbsp;development&nbsp;and&nbsp;other&nbsp;key&nbsp;areas&nbsp;of&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;to&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
achieve&nbsp;what&nbsp;Linus&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;gees&nbsp;have&nbsp;always&nbsp;envisioned,&nbsp;&quot;World&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
domination&nbsp;with&nbsp;open&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
source&nbsp;software&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;expense&nbsp;of&nbsp;Microsoft&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
