Operating system battling non-believers (Globe and Mail)
The Globe and Mail looks
at Linux in the workplace, and talks to Evan Leibovitch.
"So whenever Mr. Leibovitch hears objections to Linux, he dismisses
them as a "smokescreen thrown up by people who have turf to protect." So
what are the valid obstacles to Linux in the workplace? One objection is
that popularity of a product is a powerful argument to switch, but it's
difficult to measure the success of Linux. No one has records of the number
of installations of Linux, because as a free system it can't be measured
the traditional way, which is to calculate the number of copies a
manufacturer ships." (Thanks to Philip Webb)
