Linux Pecking Order Emerges Pending Compaq deal propels Red Hat atop U.S. market. By Ben Elgin, Sm@rt Reseller While Linux may be entrenched in a grassroots development model all its own, the most successful Linux vendors are quickly learning how to play corporate hard ball. Perhaps none has been as corporate savvy as de facto market leader Red Hat Software Inc., and its president Bob Young. By vigorously seeding the desktop OS market and gleaning high-profile corporate investments from Intel Corp. and Netscape Communications Corp., Red Hat has parlayed the increased mindshare into big-time opportunities in the server OS market. Indeed, according to sources close to the company, Red Hat has inked a pending deal with Compaq Computer Corp. to bundle its Linux OS with the hardware vendor's servers. According to published reports Compaq will serve up 24x7 support for the Linux products. zdnet.com Didn't I read this somewhere before? As you know I LOVE IFMX!
