On Tuesday, long-time Microsoft ally Intel Corp. and rival browser maker Netscape Communications Corp. will announce an investment in [42]Red Hat Software Inc., a distributor of the alternative operating system Linux, according to a source familiar with the deal. The move is a major symbolic blow to Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:[43]MSFT), which has been pushing Windows NT server as a solution for Internet Service Providers. [44][LINK] The announcement is expected to be made at ISPCon Fall '98 in San Jose, Calif., during a presentation on Linux's future in business. Intel VP and Director of Sales and Marketing Sean Maloney, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, and Linux creator Linus Torvalds are expected to be on hand for the event. ..snip.. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
