IDC: Server Sales Down Overall, But Linux Servers Way Up

Server sales are down, but don't tell that to anyone selling Linux servers.

Especially don't tell that to Dell Computer, which enjoyed by far the
fastest growth of the top vendors.

In a report just released by IDC, the total number of servers shipped with
the Linux operating system preinstalled hit almost 171,700 in the first
quarter of 2003, up 29.5 percent from the 132,500 Linux servers sold in the
first quarter of 2002.
