| Rosenberg's Corner |
Don Rosenberg of Stromian Technologies (http://www.stromian.com) writes a monthly column for businesses that are considering trying out Linux. Because the column was originally written for the Experts' Corner of LogOn Technology Transfer of Kronberg, Germany and now at ViewZone (http://www.viewzone.org/), it tends to look at overseas Linux. The column has also appeared in Chinese on the site of the Software Liberty Association of Taiwan (http://www.softwareliberty.org/) and as Rosenberg's Corner in the Taiwan edition of Linux Journal.
