Those of you trying to convince your managers of Linux legitimacy will be
interested in this article on CNET. (In case you've never heard of it, CNET,
is a large, Internet based, news service. I'm not sure if it qualifies as
mainstream, but it's certainly not niche.) Some fairly notable companies are
taking Linux seriously. Note also the Oracle VP's quote, "groundswell for
Linux has increased"!

Excerpt:

A slew of vendors is lining up this week to announce support for the
open-source--meaning free--version of the Unix operating system. Among those
jumping on the Linux train are Oracle, Informix, and Netscape.

"Over the last few months, as the groundswell for Linux has increased, our
customers have asked for Oracle's commitment to this popular platform," said
Gary Bloom, executive vice president of Oracle's system products group. "The
recent series of announcements from Netscape, Oracle, and other vendors in
support of Linux is the direct result of developer demand for a low cost,
open standards alternative to Windows NT."
