Hmmmm...
"Given UNIX’s popularity for server workloads, Linux is a full
participant in this marketplace. Linux has a following among UNIX
aficionados and within the server community."
Am I the only one scratching my head on this one?
"But I confess that I did not risk the wrath of corporate I/T – running
an unsupported desktop. I fought daily for permission to have Linux
supported within corporate I/T – but Microsoft’s hegemony was too
strong. As a result, I did not know quite how far Linux had progressed
when fully supported by an I/T infrastructure. "
You fought daily for something you didn't dare use and knew nothing about?
I can imagine, "We should support Linux." "What do you know about it?"
"Not much."
That is not very inspiring.
"In the past, there have been desktop innovations from small companies
that outshone the best on Windows. A notable example was the Netscape
Navigator web browser."
Why use the failed Netscape project as an example instead of the
successful Mozilla Project? I know he said 'in the past', but the
Mozilla Suite goes back far enough I would think..it's still here,
Netscape threw in the towel?
All in all, seems kinda shaky, but it *is* a new blog...and if you've
not blogged before it can take a while to get used to it.
Maybe take off the Unix glasses and just look at Linux from a GNU
perspective...
