LINUX RISING
The Unix-based, volunteer-supported operating system Linux, created in 1991
by Linus Torvalds, a 28-year-old Finn who now works for a chip-design firm
in Silicon Valley, has been gaining acceptance in mainstream computing
environments, and companies such as Oracle, Sun and IBM have plans to use
the program in some of their products. Linux is free, and the only way to
earn money on it is to provide additional services, such as offering tested
versions of the program along with installation support.  Of the large
software firms, only Netscape and Corel have so far pledged full support,
but that situation is expected to change as general acceptance of Linux
spreads.  (The Economist 15 Jul 98)
