Hi, I'm an account manager in Toronto. I just got the following request from the husband of an important customer of mine - any help or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tim ------------------ Our department is trying to figure out a way to obtain some UNIX platform for teaching Electronics students. Regrettably, in the current economic climate, especially within the College system, there is not much money for anything. I have been told that we would have a better chance of getting funding if we could cooperate with another area of the College on a joint proposal. It is my understanding that UNIX is finding increasing application in business. If you could provide me with anything to substantiate this impression, I would be very grateful. I don't need much - I hope. I am looking for some information that I can use to persuade folks in the School of Business that their students could benefit from some knowledge of Unix. They now are studying just PCs. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

About 43% of all web servers (see http://www.netcraft.co.uk/Survey/Reports/, especially the graphs) are running Apache, which only runs on UNIX. Another 9% are running NCSA, which also only runs on UNIX. (OK, Apache also runs on OS/2, but I doubt that's a significant factor.) So between those two you've got over 50% of all web servers on UNIX, and that doesn't count all the Netscape servers, many of which are on UNIX, plus several lesser ones. I'll let other people chime in with other business sectors. | |||||
