Bang for the Buck: Entry Unix Servers Compete with Linux and Windows
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It was only 15 years ago that Unix was first being commercialized, proprietary operating systems dominated the midrange of the server market, mainframes ruled the high end, and there was no such thing as an entry server, but rather a NetWare file system for file sharing and network printing.

OpenSparc Project Taps Advisory Board, Sees Linux Momentum
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
While there are several hundred open source software projects in the world, there are very few open hardware projects. The OpenSparc project, launched by Sun Microsystems to create an open source community centered around its "Niagara" Sparc T1 processors, is probably the most famous, and Sun this week reported significant progress in building out that community. The company also talked up the rapid adoption of Linux that the commercialized T1 servers have seen in the past few months and the surprisingly high number of downloads of the Sparc T1 hardware specifications.
