Computerworld
talks to
Oracle's director of Linux engineering, Wim Coekaerts.
"
Oracle is involved with Linux, Coekaerts says, foremost because Oracle uses Linux. A lot of Linux. Right now, almost 10,000 Linux servers are in use internally at Oracle. Essentially, every production server at Oracle is a Linux server.
In addition, about 9,000 developers at Oracle are using Linux to develop products.
A lot of that can be attributed to one simple factor: cost savings."
