Open Source: The Unauthorized White Papers

This book is for general readers and computer users who wish the entire subjects of Open Source and Linux would sit still in one place long enough for them to get a look at it and they do in this book. These general readers are unsatisfied by media accounts and don’t know where to look for detailed information on the Internet.

Book Description

This book is also for corporate IT managers who want to know more about how Open Source will fit in with corporate computing strategies. And, finally, it is for those members of the Open Source community who would like a chance to look back at where they came from and see their movement in a larger context.
