Few Companies Change Linux Plans Despite SCO Suit

gaurab writes "A survey on Internetweek says 'SCO's Linux lawsuit and threats seem to be having little affect on IT managers except to make them angry. Fully 91 percent of people responding to an InternetWeek Reader Question said they will not change their Linux deployment plans as a result of SCO's actions.' The article is also available at Yahoo!"

RIAA: ignored music piracy until it was too late. now is trying to regain ground.

SCO: Missed the technology boom, now trying to regain ground.

How do EITHER of these mindless organizations think they will succeed?

Well, it's not like I am a manager or anything, and I already run Linux on my PCs, but my Linux plans DID change when SCO started their campaign. I now tell everybody they should consider switching TO Linux, and I tracked down some old versions of it that run on Macintosh 680x0s with hardly any RAM. (I have 32 Macs, most are like LCIIIs, or the like, not many Power PCs) so I can get every single system of mine to run nothing but Linux. I have an Alpha box w/ a dead power supply, but I have a distro of Linux ready to go on it. I've got some Amigas, an AS/400, and enough PC parts to build probably 20 more systems, which, before SCOs thingy, were just sitting in the garage, but now are being assembled, just so I can put Linux on them. I got four systems at work dual booting, and three running nothing but Linux.

Before SCO brought up their little vendetta against Linux, I had two PCs at home running Linux, and one at work dual booting.
So, yeah, it did change my plans. I was content to use my lowly three systems of Linux, but by the years end, I'll have at least 55 running Linux, all but 4 will be NOTHING but Linux!
What do you think about that, Daryl??
