Linux set for ERP ascendency
Man I can’t wait for this: Linux set for ERP ascendency | The Register
One in five Unix houses expect to change operating system in the next three years. Four out of five of these expect to move to Linux.
Peerstone found two main barriers to widespread adoption of Linux: concerns of a higher total cost of ownership because of the high cost of Linux administrators; and fears raised by SCO’s attempted “legal assault on Linux intellectual property”.
Two points:
- High cost of Linux administrators: Don’t these companies realize that their current Solaris expertise IS Linux expertise? There are of course little differences, but come on…. it’s not like it’s VMS or anything!
- We all know SCO is finished now, right?
