[wellylug] Reuters to support Linux

[Ross Foubister]

Found this recent report from Reuters,

On February 3, Reuters announced that Reuters Market Data System (RMDS) is
now available on Linux. Through an alliance with computer maker HP,
chipmaker Intel Corporation and Linux distributor Red Hat, Reuters can
support financial institutions that are interested in moving to Intel-based
systems and Linux to reduce cost and improve the flexibility and performance
of their market data platforms. It is the first major commercial example of
the open-systems movement in financial services, and is gaining ground
quickly among financial institutions by providing an alternative to
proprietary operating systems.

A training workbook that focuses on the functions that Reuters engineers use
that differ from Solaris has been produced. It is designed to allow staff to
learn the Linux environment and experiment with implementing it and working
with it locally on a PC via the included Lab guides. This approach has been
found to be an extremely efficient and cost effective solution, allowing
learners to work at their own pace and pick and choose the content they
specifically need. Technical staff can then focus on the areas that they
feel they need to work on.

This workbook has been customised to Reuters specifications by the Linux
Professional Group.

Regards, Ross Foubister
