Schools

Linux™ is of special interest to schools. Here is a discussion of how schools in particular benefit from using Linux and Open Source

Threats

CyberKnights’ business is occasionally threatened by larger outside forces. These include:

The SCO Group (TSG), who have launched a legal campaign amounting to barratry to try to extort money from Linux™ users (so far only customers of their predecessors-in-interest, The Santa Crus Operation and Caldera) by falsely claiming copyright and patent interest in Linux™ code, and using the courts as a bludgeon against Linux™ user;
Others who will be documented as resources permit

At the film company DreamWorks, Ed Leonard has ported the entire graphics animation department to Linux; Shrek was created on a “renderfarm” (a powerful, refrigerator-size rack of servers) that had 800 processors running Linux. Leonard took the money he saved by not having maintenance contracts and used it to buy far more inexpensive Linux PCs. He says the money he has saved will allow DreamWorks to replace desktops and the renderfarm every two years instead of every five. — Scott Berinato
