Linux market share leaps by 212% (www.news.com - 981217)
En undersøgelse af IDC viser
at udbredelsen af Linux har øget kraftigt det sidste år. Alene
de officielle solgte CD-rom distributioner har 3-doblet salget af
antallet af pakker.
Linux har i 1998 øget markedsandelen med over 150% fra 6,8% til 17,2% på
servermarkedet vurderer analysefirmaet IDC.
Dermed er Linux det fjerde mest udbredte operativsystem til servere kun
overgået af Windows NT, Novell NetWare og UNIX. Linux er kun 0,2% fra UNIX,
som har en andel på 17,4% .
"Market share for the Linux operating system surged by 212 percent in 1998,
a growth rate that outpaced Windows NT, NetWare, Unix, and all others in
the server market, according to a new study."

But critics -- not least among them large software vendors such as
Microsoft -- portray the freeware community as a semi-organized rabble
of hobbyists, and question whether such a group can be trusted to act
as caretakers for software used to run mission-critical applications.
"I would turn the question around, and ask, 'If it's a hobby for us and
a job for you, then why are you doing such a shoddy job?' " retorted
Torvalds, who developed Linux while a student at a university.
