SUN MICROSYSTEMS said it has teamed up with the loose-knit community of Linux software developers to make the popular "freeware" run on the network computing company's systems. Linux, a variant of the UNIX operating system, has been seen as a potential threat to Sun's own commercial UNIX software, known as Solaris. By contrast, Linux is available for free on the Internet and has been distributed to more than 8 million users. Developers and end-users can now download Linux compatible with Sun's UltraSPARC computer workstations from Internet sites worldwide. "Every copy of Linux used is another win for UNIX and open standards," said Ken Okin, Sun's vice president and general manager of workstation products. (Reuters 02:45
