Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
Commentary: EDS, the giant computer services company, apparently doesn't like Linux much right now. EDS vice president of Global Alliances Robb Rasmussen recently told ZDNet Australia, "From a corporate perspective, we are not confident where Linux is right now today. A large enterprise needs to be sure because it relates to securifying [sic] the environment. We see some of the same things occurring that did to Unix -- it could splinter into many different types of languages. We are quite cautious about Linux and its deployment." Uh huh. But companies that issue anti-Linux statements like this often end up embracing Linux before long. That's why I want to extend a welcoming hand to EDS instead of getting upset over that egregious statement.
How the heck many times is this going to be reported. Yeah, we know that the same group of fools that crashed 80,000 UK government computers while trying to upgrade the OS they seem to think is a better option than Linux. End of story. Lets get to something else already. lol Seriously, I have read this about 10 times now in one form or another.
Yeah, that piece of FUD went quite a long way. However, the newsforge article is the first that is actually fighting all the FUD behind that shitty EDS story. I think it deserves some appreciation.
