Netscape and Linux
Steve Rojem sent us
a Sm@rt Reseller article
where you can read about Netscape and Linux. The main point
of the article is that other companies haven't joined in.
Well, Corel seems to be making a step with their VNC, but
Oracle and Informix are holding back. The negative
comments are typical: Accountability (unfair because
RedHat and Caldera will support Linux
systems) Demand (Considering there are as many as 10 million
Linux Boxes, I question this) and Lack of Central Marketing
Push (a valid pointy haired reason, but certainly not a
real reason). Mike Saranga, Informix's senior VP,
says they do 16 ports right now, but won't do another unless
it makes sense. Considering Linux is the
fastest growing Unix, and soon will be the largest *nix,
I wonder if it will "Make Sense" in time to give
Informix a chance against Mysql, mSQL and PostgreSQL. Is
it to late for the normal Commercial Databases on Linux?
I know you guys use databases... what do you think?
