Eight business technology trends to watch

,----[ Quote ]
| Information goods such as software and editorial content are ripe for this 
| kind of decentralized innovation; the Linux operating system, for example, 
| was developed over the Internet by a network of specialists. But companies 
| can also create physical goods in this way.

Another one to watch is virtualisation where Linux is already ahead.

The Top Five Virtualization Vendors

| The same is true with virtualization. There is VMware and the rest of the 
| pack. Big players like Microsoft, Sun and Oracle have started making their 
| moves, and open-source alternatives are being offered by Citrix, Novell and 
| Red Hat. Additionally, interesting things are happening with startups. Even 
| so, at this point the virtualization game is dominated by VMware.

Is virtualization where Linux will top Windows…perhaps stealthily?

,----[ Quote ]
| If this scenario plays out, Linux will return to its roots as a stealth OS. 
| IT managers brought Linux into IT shops through the proverbial back door to 
| use for applications that didn’t need top-level approvals. While it moved up 
| to a more visible position in data centers, Linux also infiltrated cell 
| phones and numerous other devices without fanfare. Today, Linux appears to be 
| a front-runner as ISVs’ top OS choice for virtual appliances. Perhaps even 
| Microsoft’s resistance is futile.

Cooking with Linux - Still Searching for the Ultimate Linux Distro?

,----[ Quote ]
| Why does a person install one Linux, then another, and then yet another? 
| Because a person can, of course! Such is the nature of choice, and Linux 
| gives you a choice . . . and what a selection.  
| 
| What distribution are you loading up today, François? MCNLive? Very nice, and 
| compact, too. When you get a chance, you should copy it to your USB key. That 
| way you can always carry a live Linux distribution with you. Quoi? You're not 
| sure if this is the one. I see. Yesterday, you were running OpenSUSE 10.2, 
| and the day before you installed both Debian Etch in the morning and Kubuntu 
| Feisty in the afternoon. Last week, you managed Fedora Core 7, CentOS 5, 
| Mandriva Corporate Desktop 4.0, Slackware Linux 12, and a half dozen others. 
| Are you having trouble finding something you like? You like them all but you 
| just can't choose, eh?
