Big-name, big-money backers. Tomorrow, Intel and
              Netscape will announce their investment in Linux
              distributor Red Hat. Click for more. Two venture capital
              firms are also putting money into the North Carolina
              company. The deals have important implications:

                   "Respectability" and credibility thanks to
                   validation from two of the industry's
                   powerhouses 
                   The financial resources to let Red Hat create
                   serious enterprise versions and add-ons 
                   The possible emergence of a de facto "favorite"
                   version of Linux 
                   Further estrangement between Intel and
                   Microsoft due to Intel's support of a rival OS 

              Now the Linux alliance needs to build on this
              momentum by 1) rallying around a single graphical
              interface and 2) persuading major software vendors to
              build Linux versions. If they can do that, they will build
              the all-important perception of success that could
              propel Linux into the mainstream. In a
              "winner-takes-almost-all" market like this one,
              perception is reality. If customers think a product is
              going to become the standard, they will buy it. And if
              they buy it, it becomes the winner.
