IBM's other Linux shoe could drop... as Big Blue is expected
to endorse the idea of Linux on desktop computers.

into the desktop market, according to the agenda
for the Desktop Linux Conference in Boston.

... companies are taking a more aggressive approach
by trying to steer average computer users toward Linux.
Those companies include Xandros, Linare, Lycoris, Lindows

to acquire No. 2 Linux seller SuSE, also plans to attend
the conference. So do Red Hat, Xandros, NeTraverse,
the Security-Enhanced Linux group, OpenOffice and KDE.
