D. H. Brown's server vendor study [LWN.net]

D.H. Brown has announced a study of Linux server vendors. "This report documents the Linux strategies of the market leaders -- Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Sun Microsystems, and highlights areas of distinction and difference among their offerings. Along with describing these vendors' maturing Linux strategies and offerings, the study notes Linux use by mainstream users for mission critical applications. These include Precision Response Corporation using Linux for CRM applications; Amazon.com using Linux to support a large part of their web infrastructure; and Tommy Hilfiger Corporation's use of Linux in its value-chain management application."

I dunno, it just seems funny to me. They put out a press release which includes a summary of the report, then in the last line, they say: "A summary of the report may be found on D. H. Brown's website at www.dhbrown.com."

And of course, the summary on the web site doesn't really say any more than the summary in the press release, which itself doesn't say all that much more than the summary in LWN. (: Now, does anyone want to summarise LWN's summary of the press release summary of the web site summary of the D.H. Brown report?

Sure.
