The promise 
inux does not have all the answers. It started as one man's idea and has developed into a world-changing phenomenon. Even if business is not actually using Linux, the influence of the open source movement has been significant, and almost every software developer has an open source strategy.

Internationally, developers are starting to talk the language of open standards and many of them are starting to invest time and coding hours in the development of open source software. IBM leads the pack in this respect, but Sun and Oracle are equally significant players. And yet, despite its relative immaturity, Linux continues to gain mind-share and server room space. Linux is no longer playing catch-up, and now innovates with advancements such as Beowulf, a powerful supercomputer infrastructure built with low-powered computers; and remote management abilities that make it a powerful addition to any large corporation's technical arsenal.
