Cygnus Engineering Talk

Linux: Technical Leader Today / World Domination Tomorrow
Today, Linux is the most performance driven free operating system
project. Numerous studies have proven that Linux clearly
outperforms every commercial operating system on every piece of
hardware it has been ported to. This trend will continue. If
just the right things happen, and the right people support this
already thriving effort, Linux will obtain it's long standing goal
"world domination tomorrow". Without help, Linux will reach this
goal anyways, just not as quickly.
This talk will hit upon certain specific examples of Linux's
ability to outperform commercial operating systems. It will also
mention where it does not do so well and what is being done to
aleviate these problems. Finally, the path to Linux's ultimate
success will be touched upon.
Engineering Talks are held on Fridays at 3pm in the main conference
room. They provide a communication forum for the Cygnus engineering
community. Different talks will appeal to different audiences.
Topics will include Cygnus internal projects and issues, happenings in
the broader computer industry, and tutorial level presentations.
Most, but not all talks will have a technical focus. The talks are
open to all Cygnus employees.
Suggestions for future topics and volunteers to speak are most
welcome. Email: gordoni@cygnus.com.
