faced with multiple attack experts depicting the future direction of Linux Finishing: Ackarlix  The Linux Foundation's executive director, Jim Zemlin, says Linux is entering a second phase of development, with virtualization and a growing number of mainframes running Linux to speed up Linux adoption. The foundation was merged by the Free Standards Organization (FSG) and the Open Source Development Laboratory (OSDL) in 2007 (the latter is the Linux Torvalds base). The merger of the two open source and Linux promotion organizations is a sign of maturity, Zemlin pointed out in a searchenterpriselinux.com interview. The following are Zemlin's views on how Linux and the foundation are gaining access to users and against the progress of Microsoft Windows. Zemlin is a member of the discussion group at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo Convention. Linux What measures the foundation will take this year to IT managers have a direct impact ?Jim Zemlin: The Foundation will launch a series of working groups in which industry and communities can work together to address the key challenges facing Linux. For example, you will see work on power management, which will affect all Linux users. You will also see future plans for the Linux platform through information such as the Linux platform's weather forecast. This will enable IT managers to see future improvements in Linux and to know when these improvements will be achieved. You'll also see the content on our web site that will help IT managers understand that the legal issues facing Linux are no more complex than other platforms. These are very direct questions and will be explained frankly on our website. in the 2007 the remaining time of year and 2008 at the beginning of the year, what technical or market trends will help increase Linux the application of server in Enterprise ?The functionality that virtualization brings is providing IT managers with more choices and prompting them to take Linux in more environments. You can also see that Linux is being used at a record rate on mainframe machines. Sgi IBM and other vendors are using Linux on a range of mainframe and supercomputer computers. In fact, Linux supports the operation of 75% of supercomputers worldwide. This is a stunning manifestation of Linux scalability, because Linux is also a new MoveThe leading operating system of the device.What is Linux Barriers to Application ?Now that Linux is competing with Windows, the key is to have a standard for good support. Without the widely adopted standards, ISVs (independent software vendors) will have difficulty porting popular applications to Linux operating systems. That's why most of the Linux Foundation's efforts are focused on Linux Standard Base (LSB). We also strive to insulate Linux from FUD (fear, uncertainty, suspicion) attacks, continue to provide useful forums to collaborate on the most critical issues and opportunities facing Linux, and also provide information to help Linux stakeholder groups (users, vendors, independent software vendors, developers, etc.) to The decision to be made. Face reality: The FUD strategy of our competitors is that we have to fight back. As Linux becomes more popular, it is facing more and more attacks.in with Windows when competing for corporate user market share, Linux how the server operating system is associated with Windows standing on the same horizontal line ?Linux and Linux-enabled ecosystems have done a good job, and Microsoft has made a good effort to support Windows. The bottom line is, "What's a better way to develop software?" We believe – like more and more people in the software industry – open source development is emerging as a better way to provide operating systems to corporate users and desktop users. Linux is more flexible, has a faster release cycle, and lower cost of the use of these features does not hinder Linux.Linux in what ways with Windows not on the same horizontal line. ?Linux with Windows and other There is a good competition between the server operating systems. Linux development patterns are different; Sales patterns are also different. 　　We think these are the advantages, but we also realize that organizations like us need to work with our members to connect customers with their communities. have you seen any promising developments in the area of standard development? 　　? No doubt. We have seen more support for LSB than ever before, and now all major Linux releases follow the LSB. 　　Our path is correct, with the recent increase in personnel-including the new CTO Markus rex--next year we will make significant progress. These developments will bring about in the next year or so Linux the direct change? 　　? We believe that upstream projects and downstream releases will be more coordinated as Linux communities and Linux ecosystems continue to collaborate on Linux standardization. We are building a test framework in our standard group that will facilitate coordination between upstream and downstream. You will also see a growing number of stakeholders in the Linux standard discussion. We have recently expanded our activities to bring together all major stakeholders to convene a big Linux cooperation summit.  As a result of the summit, I think you will see accelerated technological innovation.
