Linux Inc.

The latest BusinessWeek has an excellent cover article on Linux, Linus Torvalds and the open source movement. It's not that much different from the many publications on the topic in recent times. Linux has hit its stride, even with the SCO suit, and continues to make big strides into the server and desktop market. Big organizations are taking notice and joining the movement, as they see the business potential of pooling resources and sharing the costs of developing what has become commodity infrastructure for the IT industry. If you've never had a peek into how the open source movement works, what Linux is all about and why IBM is setting itself up to be its Uncle, then this article will serve as your grounding introduction.
