| The repercussions of the credit crunch have continued to occupy headline news
| in recent weeks. We have witnessed the demise of Lehman Brothers and

| Merrill Lynch, the proposed merger of Lloyds TSB and HBOS (which would never
| have been permitted under normal circumstances), and the list goes on.

Five programs you can afford in a financial meltdown
,----[ Quote ]
| 3) Quicken: GnuCash Chances are you've heard of the other programs I've
| mentioned, but GnuCash 2.2.7 may be new to you. It shouldn't be. It's an
| outstanding money management program. And, if there's anything we need right
| now, it's some good money management.

| What I will point out though is that no one in their right mind runs Windows
| without security software. That means people buy, at a minimum, an anti-virus
| program. If you go for the whole she-bang of anti-virus, firewall, anti-spam,
| etc. etc., Norton Internet Security 2009 will sock your wallet for $50. Linux
| doesn't need a lot of that junk and what it does need, like a firewall, comes
| bundled in it.

Wall Street still likes Linux, but for new reasons
,----[ Quote ]
| A few years ago, financial services firms tended to point to low cost and
| customizability of components as their major reasons for turning to Linux and
| open source. But at the Linux/Open Source on Wall Street show today,
| panelists devoted more of their remarks to topics such as multi-OS server
| consolidation on mainframes and creating realtime Linux applications for PC
| servers, aptly reflecting the growing complexity of software environments in
| financial firms and elsewhere.

|
| Speaking with BetaNews later, however, Graves said that, in his opinion, the
| main benefit of Linux right now is that Linux appllications will run --
| either virtualized, or not -- on virtually any hardware system, including X86
| PCs and mainframes.
|
| Credit Suisse's Bubba, meanwhile, views the main benefit of Linux as lying in
| its wealth of real-time applications.

NYSE Euronext banks on Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| If anyone out there persists in believing that Linux isn't ready for serious
| prime time, NYSE Euronext's dependence on Red Hat should finally lay that
| silly notion to rest. As announced, the New York Stock Exchange Euronext
| dumped its proprietary UNIX heritage (AIX, HP UX, Solaris) for the freedom,
| flexibility, and performance of Linux.
