by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The gravy train that the Windows platform has been enjoying while attacking the vast installed base of Unix servers in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) application software market may be jumping tracks, and a new train appears to be rolling in: the Linux platform.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Franco-American commercial Linux distributor Mandrakesoft has been fleshing out its portfolio of Linux offerings throughout 2004, and last week it added two more products to the mix.
