Analyst Firm Gets It Half-Right:

"IDC, a well-known analyst firm (and, in the interest of full disclosure, a sister firm of CIO's publisher, CXO Media), has just released a study on the topic of open source, concluding that open source represents "the most significant all-encompassing and long-term trend that the software industry has seen since the early 1980s."

IDC surveyed 5000 developers in 116 countries and discovered that open source is used by 71% of them and -- perhaps more surprisingly -- is used in 54% of their production environments."

This just in: Research Looks at How Open Source Software Gets Written

"Computer software systems are now among the most complex, expensive artifacts ever created by humans, and some of the most sophisticated are being built by teams of volunteers as "open source" projects, where any programmer can read the code and suggest changes.

The Linux Advantage in Web Hosting from Linuxinsider:

While companies may be drawn to the stability, savings, flexibility and other advantages of Linux in a Web hosting setting, they are still committing to a platform and road map that is far less defined when they choose Linux, according to Rackspace Vice President of Research and Development Paul Frouton. "Having a company or person to fall back on becomes much more important."

Boot a Dead PC with Nothing but a Thumb Drive

There is a huge company in Australia that's putting all it's IT infrastructure onto Linux, but they don't want to talk about it, because they're using using Fedora, of all things.

Why anyone would base such a large infrastructure on what is essentially a science experiment when there are MUCH better solutions, even from Red Hat themselves, I would question the logic of this move.
