Linux hitting strong on Solaris and Unix

Linux is really smashing their closest competitors this year, and they
are of course Solaris and Unix. This is splendid news as it is a good way
to be strong enough to hit the desktop market (and it will, that's for
sure).

This one talks about a bug that "could have been either in Versant's or WebLogic's object-oriented database", then "We found the bug and fixed it".
EJB is a specification, not a product.
If you were using EJB plus a "object-oriented database" at the time of "Redhat 9", you obviously over-engineered or most likely over-sold by the HW/SW vendors, which isn't surprising, for the dot-com years.
This article can't be possibly written by some developer or engineer, at least not the ones that "decompiled the code" then "found the bug and fixed it" -- they're too smart for this.
It's a marketing piece.
Let's take a wild guess whose marketing it is. "We used to use the stock Red Hat 9, but we've found that it's been worth it springing for the enterprise stuff.", and running JBOSS, hmm ...
Well, looks like it worked on at least one LWN readers, see above.

This is the second or third story I read recently about Linux replacing Solaris. Oddly, each of them talks about what happened several years ago. Like in the other story, Linux replaced Solaris 8 on x86.Linux hitting strong on Solaris and Unix
However in the preceding paragraph, it blames "Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), a Sun product" for the problem.
They were probably using WebLogic's EJB implementation (the product).

I'm working on such a project myself, although I can't say much about it at present. I live in a large city, and there seems to be enough UNIX to Linux migration work out there to keep me busy for some time.
