Summit: Linux Advances Into Enterprise, Seeks Better Fix For Bugs (InformationWeek)

InformationWeek covers the first day of the Linux Collaboration Summit, concentrating mostly on the first keynote speech and the kernel hacker roundtable. The roundtable featured seven kernel developers and was moderated by LWN Executive Editor Jonathan Corbet. "At the same time, the easy part of Linux's advance may be over. IDC analyst Al Gillen told about 300 attendees at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in Austin, Texas, Tuesday that Linux has made many of its gains at the expense of legacy Unix systems. From here on, its growth may slow, as result of both server virtualization, which packs more applications on a single server, and head-to-head competition with Microsoft's Windows Server. 'Never discount Microsoft,' added Gillen."
