1999-2011 Eleven Years of Success for GNU/Linux
I just reread the announcement of a partnership between IBM and RedHat in 1999 to promote GNU/Linux to the enterprise. Here’s a quote:
More than 10 million users currently run the Linux operating system. According to IDC Research, Linux was the fastest-growing server operating environment in 1998, capturing more than 17 percent of all server operating system shipments. A new survey in Linuxworld showed that 74 percent of those polled cite Red Hat as the most recognized Linux vendor.
What’s changed in that time is nothing and everything. Hardware and software have gone through several important changes but what has not changed is that annually GNU/Linux grew dramatically.
