More than half of the large firms in North America are employing open source software in some fashion, and another 19% are planning to use it by the end of the year, according to Forrester Research. In a report entitled "How Firms Should Work With the Open Source Ecosystem," Forrester outlines the history and drivers behind the trend and looks forward to the development of what they label the open source ecosystem.
The report, issued in early October, was the result of interviews with more than 30 different vendors and enterprises over nine months (that's a long study window for a fast moving area). Companies interviewed included a mixture of industry stalwarts, such as 3M, IBM and Hewlett-Packard, and some of the highest profile new names, including SpikeSource, Black Duck, and Jboss.

Migrating to Linux: Network and System Settings
Linux gives you a lot of control over network and system settings. On your desktop, Linux lets you tweak just about anything on the system. Most of these settings are exposed in plain text files under the /etc directory. Here I describe some of the most common settings you’ll use on your desktop Linux system.
A lot of settings can be found in the Settings program, and the available options will vary by Linux distribution. Usually, you can change the background, tweak sound volume, connect to printers, set up displays, and more. While I won't talk about all of the settings here, you can certainly explore what's in there.
