Linux Makes Mainstream Moves (TechWeb)
TechWeb says 2003 will be the year that Linux becomes
a mainstream operating system used for mission-critical business
processes, thanks to strong vendor support and the growing availability of
apps ported to Linux. "Linux already is mainstream at Cendant
Corp. The real-estate, travel-services, and hospitality holding company has
7,000 hotels, and there's nothing more mission critical than efficiently
managing check-ins, departures, payments, and reservations. About 60% of
the hotels use a property-management system from Hotel Software Systems
Ltd. that runs on a Linux distribution from SCO Group, even though Cendant
offers Windows-based property-management software."
