Linux  Opinions Linux : Opinions : Itanium - The next big leap for Linux
By Posted: ( Tue 19th Dec 2000 03:48:09[AM] UTC )
Previously, if you wanted 64-bit computing power, you would have had to
choose one of the proprietary 64-bit platforms. Linux does run on several
of these but it is not the first choice for the enterprise on these
platforms. The Itanium is expected to change all that and cement Linux's
position at the top-end of the corporate segment.

Linux : Opinions : Borland comes back to life

History's going to repeat itself, with Borland releasing for Linux their
flagship product, Delphi. Claimed to be the fastest compiler available, it
will surely speed up deployment of applications under Linux.

Description
|
Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net.
It aims towards POSIX compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged
Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management and TCP/IP networking.

Development Status
|
Very active. Some big names are behind it so expect a lot from this OS.
