IBM, Hewlett-Packard, <BR> Compaq and Dell are among hardware vendors that offer equipment <BR> compatible with the operating system. <BR> <BR> More announcements are coming this week: <BR> <BR> Giant chipmaker Intel is buying a stake in VA Research, which makes <BR> computers that use the Linux operating system. <BR> <BR> Caldera Systems will provide Linux for a variety of IBM's systems and offer <BR> training and support for IBM employees. IBM has a similar arrangement with <BR> Red Hat, another provider of Linux software and services. <BR> <BR> Computer Associates is making its Unicenter software, which runs large <BR> corporate networks, work on Linux machines, CA Senior Vice President Ken <BR> Farber says. <BR> <BR> Oracle will have a Linux version of its popular database program, Oracle 8i, <BR> available next month. <BR> <BR> Even Microsoft executives acknowledge Linux's impact. They have pointed to <BR> Linux's soaring popularity during Microsoft's antitrust trial to argue that the <BR> software giant faces competition though its software runs 95% of the world's <BR> PCs. <BR> <BR> Unless Microsoft significantly improves NT in its next version, called Windows <BR> 2000, the company faces losing market share to Linux by 2003, says a report <BR> just out by researcher First Albany/META Group. Windows NT has a <BR> reputation for frequent crashes. <BR> <BR> Red Hat and Caldera are among companies that bundle the original free Linux <BR> code with related software to form a system that sells for $1,600, vs. $10,000 <BR> for a comparable Windows NT system. <BR> <BR> But for Linux to really take off it needs applications -- such as personnel <BR> management and accounting programs -- that are designed to run on Linux <BR> machines. This week will be the first time many commercial applications are <BR> demonstrated, Dan Kusnetzky of International Data says. <BR> <BR> "These things are just starting to appear," says Bob Young, CEO of Red Hat, <BR> which is backed by Intel, Netscape Communications and others. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>-- <BR>Garfield:' I eat too mcuh, I can not move, <BR>which is the ONLY way to keep me from eating.' <BR> <BR>※ 来源:·BBS 水木清华站 bbs.net.tsinghua.edu.cn·[FROM: 202.112.101.44] <BR><CENTER><H1>BBS水木清华站∶精华区</H1></CENTER></BODY></HTML>
