A co-worker sent this to me. The reporter doesn't come right out and say it, but the Linux platform being used by Merrill Lynch is Linux/390. One nice dollar figure mentioned: " Keeping their file systems on Windows servers would have cost the company $600,000 in hardware and five times that to pay for the personnel to manage the servers."
If my math is correct, that means USD $3,600,000. Mark Post -----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 12:50 AM Subject: [news] Merrill Lynch: Linux saves money <http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3-1014287.html> http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3-1014287.html
