Linux is an operating system very similar to Unix. It can do most of what Unix and Windows NT can do only cheaper. But IT departments have been slow to adopt Linux for business use because it is "open source" technology, meaning that no one vendor like Sun or IBM or Microsoft is responsible for it. Even without IT endorsement, Linux has already made its way into most corporations and is in use - undocumented - for certain key applications. It's estimated that up to 70% of Apache web servers are...

More than a decade later, this same operating system has caused nothing short of a revolution in the world of computers. Now known as Linux, Torvalds' creation was largely dismissed in the 1990s by tech pundits who claimed that it was unsuitable for the general public's computing needs. If they only knew how wrong they were! Af...
