Story: CIOs express caution over Linux

Posted by: Mark Potochnik (Wednesday 8 October 2003, 4:15 PM)

Linux is comming in from the bottom, the same way that PCs moved in. FOr the longest time, PCs were littile toys not meant for serious work. But they're here. Once Linux oozes in it will become the standard, they will be comfortable.

And not using Linux for "Mission-Critical" work is rediculus (sp). It has been shown to be able to stand up for years. As long as you have power to a Linux cluster it should NEVER break. What about the companies that DO depend on Linux and IT WORKS. And the company next door CAN'T get it to work?

I have seen messages on the internet. "I've been an IT manager for 20 year and I can't get Linux to work?" But then how can this simple high school graduate get it to work?

Option 1 Linux runing for years. And nobody to blame but yourself.
Option 2 Other OSes breaking and being able to blame somebody else for it. It sounds like a lack of talent to me.

You need to spend alot of $$$$ on it to make it good. Sounds like SNOBBERY to me.
