1. PERSPECTIVES: Linux's Good News

Linux has a lot to celebrate, as does Novell this week at BrainShare in 
Salt Lake City. The open-source operating system and the aging 
networking company are the perfect match. Each will enliven the other, 
and both have a lot to bring to the party.

Novell is working on and starting to release a blizzard of Linux-based 
and Linux-oriented products, in conjunction with SuSE. The development 
of Linux-rejuvenated Novell products and Novell-reinforced Linux 
enterprise-class products is win-win for everyone but Microsoft.

Meanwhile, IBM is expanding its association with Red Hat according to a 
Red Hat announcement today by offering to pre-load Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux v.3 on IBM eServer hardware.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Utah, Missouri are launching 
a software repository next month designed to let government agencies 
make more efficient use of open-source software.

No matter how focused you and I might be on Linux bits and open-source 
app code, the bottom line for the success of this software is the rate 
of adoption by businesses and institutions around the world. And while 
that isn't happening overnight, it is happening.
