Linux software surges against tide ....Users rave about Linux's positive attributes, such as its resistance to crashing and its flexibility. Developed in the early 1990s by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds, Linux can be downloaded free off the Internet. Unlike Microsoft's software blueprints, Linux's source code is shared over the Web, which makes it easy for programmers to blend in improvements. As a result, a small cottage industry of developers around the globe has sprung up. But relatively few software applications run on the Linux system, particularly compared with Windows-compatible programs. One exception: Corel Corp., a major Toronto softwaremaker, plans to sell a package of business software, including WordPerfect, made for Linux computers..... ....But at Bristol Hotels & Resorts, a Dallas-based chain of 120 hotels, technicians use about a half-dozen Linux computers to develop Internet software that will perform such tasks as letting hotel guests make reservations online. The company hopes to vastly increase its use of Linux as the Internet becomes more important to its business. azcentral.com
