About Linux
The last five years has seen a rapid expansion in the use of Linux by business
and institutions. Attracted by a winning combination of high reliability, high
power and low cost, thousands of forward-thinking enterprises have left behind
the license-laden world of proprietary software for the freedom of open source.
Linux is the fastest growing Server operating environment.
The Netcraft Web Server survey (http://www.netcraft.com/survey) based on over
25,000,000 sites reports that over 60% of all web servers world-wide are running
Apache on Linux. Linux is a trademark of Linus Torvalds. All other names and
