<H1>INFOWORLD MAGAZINE HONORS RED HAT SOFTWARE, INC. AND THE LINUX
|
|
COMMUNITY</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
February 5 1998--Research Triangle Park, NC--InfoWorld Magazine threw
|
|
its impressive weight behind the Linux community with its Product of
|
|
the Year Issue when it named Red Hat Linux 5.0, the OS that acts as a
|
|
UNIX workstation for the personal computer, the Network Operating
|
|
System of the Year and gave the Linux user community the award for Best
|
|
Technical Support.
|
|
<P>
|
|
"Find out what you've been missing while you've been rebooting windows
|
|
NT," writes InfoWorld Magazine's Eric Hammond of Red Hat Linux 5.0.
|
|
Proving that Linux has indeed come of age in the software industry,
|
|
Hammond suggests that, "There isn't any reason why Linux can't be
|
|
implemented as an enterprise computing solution...Red Hat recognized
|
|
commercial organizations' need for reliable support, and so the company
|
|
now provides several help options, including telephone support."
|
|
<P>
|
|
Hammond mentions "several help options," and an integral component of
|
|
these "help options" is the Linux user community. Active, vocal, and
|
|
technically-sophisticated, the Linux community displays the kind of
|
|
pride that comes with ownership. And since the Linux OS is
|
|
cooperatively developed over the internet by many of these users, the
|
|
pride of ownership rings true.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Of the Linux user community and their pride of ownership, InfoWorld's
|
|
Ed Foster states, "Linux users rave about the technical support they
|
|
receive that goes far beyond the call of duty." And Foster addresses
|
|
the use of Linux in the business environment by writing that
|
|
corporations "found the support they received to be far more impressive
|
|
than what they were used to with commercial software."
|
|
<P>
|
|
With Red Hat Linux 5.0 winning the Product of the Year and the Linux
|
|
user community receiving accolades for best technical support,
|
|
arguments grow stronger in favor of the Linux operating system not only
|
|
as a viable alternative to other systems but rather as a preferable,
|
|
technically superior OS.
|
|
