Linux represents a stable, full function operating system alternative to NT. Linux has an installed base of 17 million in 1998, estimated to climb to 100 million by 2003, much of that in China and Asia. Linux now dominates Internet e-mail server applications. It is poised to participate in distributed transaction processing markets. Value chain and supply chain applications promise to enhance the usefulness of Linux. By extending the reach of the system, market participants leverage the effectiveness of it.
Companies do not sell Linux, they sell solutions
that are based on Linux. By going up the value chain, market participants
enhance the usefulness and value of Linux. By extending the reach
of the system, the market participants leverage the effectiveness of it.
