Linux World has
a report from the Oracle OpenWorld panel. Linus said that he
will be
focussing on bringing Linux to normal users. Indeed,
the competition is not high end Unixes, but Windows. He also
mentioned that 2.2 should be out by Christmas. Intel also
announced a Linux Community Program.
Despite recent speculation, Larry Ellison did not
discuss a Linux strategy,
but an Oracle vice-president
reaffirmed Oracle's commitment to Linux. Moreover,
Oracle called upon Sun today to
put Java into the Open Source community to accelerate
its growth. Note that Netscape's vice president said that
the emphasis should not be put on the OS but the apps it
runs and the services around it: similar to
this idea. Thanks to beg and ensor for their URLs. updated
