APART from large businesses and government agencies which are looking at Linux as an alternative to the various flavours of Unix, many SMEs (small and medium enterprises) are also keen on going the Linux way, says a new study by New York-based Access Markets International (AMI) Partners Inc.
'The growth of Linux will be particularly strong in key Asian and European markets where government endorsements and policies are boosting visibility for Linux and open source,' says Abhijeet Rane, AMI's senior vice-president. 'Asian and European SMEs in particular are very interested in Linux and open source apps because of the cost benefits.'
