Linux: How much does it not suck?, Apr 30, 2009

Linux does not suck. It only sucks if you have never tried it or are afraid to try an open-source operating system.

Novell’s future growth is largely dependent on its success and commitment in the open source community, but sources close to the company say a quarter of the planned 100 layoffs there will be from the SUSE development team.

Linux is ready for the desktop but enterprises aren’t quite ready for Linux, some industry insiders say.

German banks and insurance companies interested in implementing open source Linux in their operations can click to a new portal for information about products, suppliers, applications and more.

At Red Hat Inc.'s headquarters in North Carolina, a quote from Mahatma Gandhi adorns a wall: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." That seems appropriate for a company which started as a guerrilla movement among technophiles but has now blossomed into a full-blown conflict.
