This session will discuss the value of Linux in a business environment.
We will cover some of the history of the operating system, its features,
and its place in the corporate world. We will deal with some of the
misconceptions that surround Open Source software as well as some of the
key differences between Open Source and closed source solutions. We will
also discuss the community which creates Open Source software and
Compaq's role in the Linux world. We will allocate plenty of time for
questions and answers, so come with your issues and queries about using
Linux and Open Source solutions.

He joined Digital Equipment Corporation in 1987 and spent years as an
OpenVMS customer consultant for Digital. In 1995, he began using Linux
and soon became convinced of its potential as a business solution. He is

Development", as well as numerous magazine and webzine articles. He is a
