Sun will offer Linux directly to customers... It looks like no matter where you look..Linux is a coming..! -mike- Sun has credited Linux with helping to undermine Microsoft's dominance, but it hasn't been offering Linux-certified systems the way Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Compaq Computer, Dell Computer and other competitors have. Red Hat and others have offered a version of Linux that runs on Sun's UltraSparc chips for years. "This move makes it easier for customers to work with Sun and Sun platforms," said Technology Business Research analyst Jim Garden, who sees the decision as positive. "It also shows Sun's confidence. They're not scared of Linux. It's a complementary cousin and not a foe." If Dell can successfully leverage Linux alongside Windows NT, it can steal sales from Sun, said analysts. Dell, for example, in the third quarter shipped more workstations in the United States than did Sun, according to IDC news.cnet.com
