Linux moving into the household moving business (ComputerWorld)

[Posted April 17, 2003 by ris]

ComputerWorld looks at the reasons a large moving company has moved their computers to Linux. "All-American, which is the largest moving agent under the Mayflower Transit LLC banner, settled on Linux last year as it sought cheaper alternatives to rising licensing costs for Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 2000 server operating system, Pekol said. The company was also worried about security issues with Windows NT and 2000. "Windows NT servers are constantly being hacked, so we were very concerned about customer data," Pekol said."
