Certainly validating the "snowball" syndrome described in one of the linux links
posted here recently. I think the media have underestimated the groundswell of support
for *choice.* When do we expect Word Perfect to be ported?
Still, as the story notes -- choice does not come cheap. They're charging $250-$300 to
preinstall Linux ... better to buy the machine and then get the $100 rebate for not
using Windows <g>.

Among information that emerged today: Hewlett-Packard said that a model
of its NetServer line, traditionally Windows NT machines, will come with a
version of Linux and announced a support deal with Linux distributor Red
Hat that will make it easier for corporate customers to adopt Linux on
Intel-based servers. Compaq Computer has qualified Linux on the new DS20
Alpha-based servers coming next week and plans to qualify Intel-based
systems in the future.
IBM is in discussions with Red Hat and said it's "aggressively" evaluating
Linux servers. And details emerged about Silicon Graphics' efforts to get
Linux to work on its workstations.
