Linux: Emerging as the Preferred OS for Embedded Devices and Internet Services
Linux is the environment of choice for hardware and software developers today. And despite many rivals, both Linux and UNIX remain leading operating systems (OS) on workstations and mid-range to high-end systems. Linux is also the leading OS for Internet servers. Known for their scalability, performance and large installed base, they are capable of supporting many simultaneous users of databases and other GUI applications.
