The BSD Unix Projects Keep Humming Along
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Years ago, the Linux operating system stole the open source show and arguably the hearts and minds of the IT industry--or at least those parts of the industry that are inclined to support and use open source software. But with the advent of OpenSolaris a year ago as an open source Unix implementation, Linux is no longer the only option. And, it never was.

Who's Ahead in the X64 Server Wars?
by Dan Olds
According to recently released sales figures, server sales in the first quarter of 2006 were flat or declining.
