This URL was forwarded to me by a co-worker. This study was published by Mitre in July of 2001. It spends some time looking at how Linux and Open Source software fits in with the needs of the military, but the majority of it covers the strengths and weaknesses of Linux versus Windows NT and proprietary UNIX systems, as well as the use and growth of use of Linux in commercial industries.
