"Reuters will announce plans Thursday to bring its financial information software to Linux (news - web sites) in conjunction with Red Hat, Intel and Hewlett-Packard (news - web sites), sources said, a major achievement for the comparatively young open-source operating system.
"Morgan Stanley will be one among other customers using the software, sources familiar with the project said. Red Hat, the leading seller of the Linux operating system, announced in March that Morgan Stanley was a customer. "The software involved is Reuters Market Data System (RMDS), used by financial services personnel such as stock traders to retrieve and digest financial statistics and news. The software runs on both workstations and servers." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cn/20020516/tc_cn/linux_grabs _big_win_with_reuters Mark Post
