IBM and Oracle are now among the 'big names' supporting Linux and have released Linux versions of their database server products.

Research establishments have also been advised to use and develop re-distributable toolboxes just as Central government departments and state governments has been asked to use Linux-based offerings. > >CONTENTS > >1.

While SETI is possibly the most successful of the collaborative network projects (because it is the oldest - and I have run it myself for about 4 years, so I am very supportive), there are others of equal and possibly more immediate human value, including protein decoding and more, whose benefits do not need expanding. Please Google for them and make your choice of screensaver one that uses the computing power you can't, for the benefit of all. -- Vickram
