CASE Tools: Large System Development (O'Reilly)
David HM Spector
covers progress in the area of Computer-Aided Software Engineering
(CASE) tools for Linux.
"A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a Linux system to play in this sandbox: the limitations of the file systems alone would have squelched the idea. Fortunately, the Linux world moves very quickly. The availability of larger SMP systems, in fact whole IBM 390 Mainframes running Linux, and fast, journaling file systems like ext3 or ReiserFS without the old 2GB limit, and logical volume management, all mean that there are few limitations beyond cultural inertia and bias that are stopping Linux from becoming a player in this space."
