[Amy Cortese, BW, 29Jun98, p. 42.] Oracle (Redwood Shores, CA) will begin developing a Linux version of its Oracle8 database software and related inventory management software. Informix Corp. (Menlo Park, CA) is already selling a Linux-compatible version of Informix-SE, a database for small and medium-size businesses. Linux -- an open-source Unix variant -- is gaining favor with companies that don't like being locked into Windows NT. [SJM, 25Jul98, 1C.] Kathy E.
