Mike Stein writes "This is an interesting story from ISD Magazine. Since most users of Linux are in technical fields this dicussion and its implications are very important. Most of the story centers around the move in engineering to NT Workstations from Unix (Sun, HP) Workstations."

The Economic Times have an in-depth look at Linux, first throughout the world, and then in India. The articles are full of interesting tidbits, for instance that the largest UK ISP runs Linux, or that Suse is 40% of the German market. One less certain fact is their statement that Intel will help port Linux to Merced. IsdMag is covering Linux from the EDA perspective. This is their third article on the subject. Some of the surveyed engineers go so far as to state they'll quit if put in front of an NT box. With that kind of resistance, lots of little fabless companies seem likely to me to back down.

Technetcast reveals the truth behind the Beowulf coverup at NASA. Over at News Observer you can find out what Robert Young and Marc Ewing of Redhat fame look like in red hats. And Betamag shows that Linux reverses obsolescence. After so much positive press, there is however one rotten apple.

David F. Skoll writes "ISDMag has another editorial about Linux and electronic design automation -- the second in a row. In the article, editor Jonah McLeod says that "Readers are speaking out loud and clear for Linux, but the EDA software and hardware vendors are hearing-challenged." It's a great read. If anyone is going to the 35th Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, maybe we should have a Linux EDA BOF session? "

David F. Skoll writes "There's a nice story in Integrated System Design, a magazine for electronic designers, about why engineers prefer UNIX to NT. There's positive mention of Linux. Read it here As an electrical engineer, I'm happy to see ISD editorials like this!"
