tlug: Accolades from PC Magazine




Usually not noted for straying from Microsoft, The October 20
issue of PC Magazine has some flattering things to say about both
Linux and FreeBSD :-)

p.111: 
     "This year's surprise contender for network operating systems
      is Linux.  If we had to pick one development that really
      legitimizes Linux in the corporate world, it's the recent
      announcement that Oracle will port it's Oracle 8 database to 
      Linux.  Informix has jumped on the Linux bandwagon as well.
      And application vendors such as Netscape and Corel have begun
      to move their application software to the Linux platform.  
      There's even a version of NetWare from Caldera that runs on
      Linux."

p.227: Free BSD - A No-Cost NOS (full article)
     "... Although it lacks Windows NT's eas of use and application
      support, FreeBSD offers superior stability, security, and 
      speed ..."  


-Joe.
