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.
