[ILUG] Hmmm ... Tru64 being dumped in favor of Linux !!

[ILUG] Hmmm ... Tru64 being dumped in favor of Linux !!

Dogfood 
AltaVista switched OS for its primary Web site to Linux on 29 March 29,
forsaking its previous owner's Compaq Tru64 (nee Digital UNIX) OS. Tru64
lost its other major reference Web site Amazon to Linux last September, and
prior to that Lycos switched to Windows last July. This leaves Tru64 with
the Internet Movie Database, an Amazon acquisition, and the Vatican as its
most prominent websites. 

Compaq itself used Tru64 from August 2000 to February 2001 for the
www.compaq.com front-end web server, but then reverted back to Windows.
www.digital.com still stands by Tru64, but simply redirects to
www.compaq.com. 

The life-signs of the proprietary Unix brands, other than Solaris, are not
good in our Web Server Survey. Is the end of most proprietary Unix flavours
nigh?
