From: Ray George <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2006 22:14:51 -0800 Subject: new study on Linux management being released tomorrow ... To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 Dear EUGLUG, Just wanted to point you towards a new (free) study that your Linux user group might find interesting. Tomorrow a.m., research firm Enterprise Management Associates will release an independent "Get the Truth on Linux Management" report (co-sponsored by OSDL and Levanta) -- which analyzes feedback from more than 200 organizations running Linux, and surveys the time / money required to manage Linux systems. The report is now availalable for free download at: http://www.levanta.com/linuxstudy/ As you know -- for years, Microsoft has poured millions of marketing dollars into sponsored studies that assert that Linux is "tough to manage" and "high touch." Microsoft's "Get the Facts" campaign (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/facts/default.mspx) says that these management costs of Linux create a higher total cost of ownership that makes the OS less attractive than Windows. But the findings in "Get the Truth on Linux Management" show that not only is Linux no more difficult to manage than Windows -- in many cases, users running mixed (Linux and Windows) environments are finding Linux to be more manageable than Windows. Apologies for the unsolicited email; I won't bother you again. Thanks, Ray George Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Bob Miller K<bob> [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
