You can view many archived stories about Linux at infoworld.com Here's one of them: ________________ Linux deluge picks up momentum at LinuxWorld By Emily Fitzloff InfoWorld Electric Posted at 6:45 AM PT, Feb 27, 1999 Alongside the major enterprise vendors announcing products, initiatives, and partnerships all in the name of Linux, smaller software providers and Linux distributors are also putting muscle behind the operating system. Next week's LinuxWorld, in San Jose, Calif., will be marked by handfuls of companies bringing to market solutions that reinforce the industry's acceptance of Linux. Informix will announce the availability of free development licenses for its Informix-4GL and Informix-SQL tools on Linux. This offer will be available from March 1 to June 30. The availability of these tools on Linux enables developers and VARs to quickly port thousands of existing Informix-4GL and Informix-SQL applications to the Linux platform. In other database-related Linux news, Linux distributor S.u.S.E. will announce IBM's DB2 database on Linux that is slated for a mid to late April delivery. S.u.S.E. will unveil at the show Version 6.1 of its Linux operating systems, which feature Kernel 2.2 and KDE 1.1. LinuxCare plans to announce global support for selected Dell Precision WorkStations, PowerEdge servers, and OptiPlex business desktop PCs running any variant of the Linux operating system, including those distributed by Red Hat, Caldera, and S.u.S.E. Dell will include a free LinuxCare Silver Support Incident Coupon with every PowerEdge server that ships with Linux. These coupons are redeemable for Web- or e-mail-based technical support from LinuxCare. Tripwire Security Systems plans to announce at LinuxWorld the availability of Tripwire 2.0 for Red Hat Linux. This version of the company's file integrity assessment software for enterprise intrusion detection can be downloaded free of charge from the company's Web site. Execmail will launch Execmail for Red Hat Linux, a highly scalable messaging solution for large enterprises and Internet service providers. Execmail for Red Hat Linux consists of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol-compliant Enterprise Directory Server, the Execmail Message Server that offers multiple independent hosted mail domains, and the Execmail client. Pricing and availability have not yet been released. Emily Fitzloff is an InfoWorld senior writer. Related articles: "Host of vendors puts weight behind Linux"
