M.Broil writes "This is a nice and fairly complete 'first look' at MacOS 10.3 (Panther), but author Chris Gulker, who I happen to know was an Apple PR guy years ago, spends a lot of time comparing the Mac 'Panther' release to Linux, which he seems to use most of the time these days. He obviously likes a lot about Panther, but he doesn't think many Linux users will switch to it, and that a lot of 'classic' Mac OS users may not want to move to it, either. |

- -NEWSFACTOR SPECIAL REPORT Although Linux is increasingly popular in the enterprise, not all Linux distributions will find a place in the corporate data center. While the Red Hat and SuSE distributions power many enterprise servers, there are hundreds of Linux distributions, many of them free, that rarely are used in business settings.
