    • Abstract:
      This article highlights the 2004 LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, California. Presented in the conference is the possibility of using the computer software Linux as an alternative to Windows on end-user personal computers. And conference attendees weigh potential cost savings of the technology against its immaturity. Entelos Inc. plans to move its 90 users to a desktop release of Linux when its Windows maintenance contract comes up for renewal. During a panel discussion, speakers offered suggestions for companies contemplating migrations to desktop Linux.
