Alternative OSs are Cnet's #1 Top Trend for 1998
Toast writes "According
to CNET, Linux (and some
other alternative OSes) are the #1
trend for 1998. They cite the Gimp and
StarOffice as two
reasons why alternative OSes are gaining popularity. According
to CNET, 'Alternative OS-makers no longer need rely on their "Microsoft sucks, and we're not Microsoft"
appeal. This year, the sentiment is "Our OSes stand on their own merits." And this year, they can back it up.' "
Ya know, a year ago nobody in the media mentioned Linux. Sure,
Slashdot was easier to run because there were fewer
articles to pick from, but now, Linux is recognized everywhere.
Very cool.
