"Tests indicate Linux could be a desktop solution


12:10 Monday 14th January 2002 
 David Neal and Roger Howorth, IT Week   
Testing in the IT Week labs shows that Linux is viable as a desktop 
operating system, with one package particularly impressive on laptops 
 

IT Week Labs tests have shown that Linux could now be deployed with 
little fuss as a desktop operating system for firms with a Web-centric 
software strategy. A version of Linux from Suse proved particularly 
suited for laptops, with impressive standards-based Web and email 
support. 

The tests suggest that companies which are reluctant to rely solely on 
Microsoft as a desktop operating system supplier could now pilot Linux 
systems with a view to widespread implementation."
