   VNU Net: SAS to unveil Linux strategy

   Mar 13, 2000, 20:35 UTC (0 Talkbacks) (Other stories by Lisa

   By Lisa Kelly, VNU Net

   SAS Institute will tomorrow announce plans to offer Linux
   versions of its data warehousing and decision support software.

   A Linux version of the SAS System software suite will be
   available in the fourth quarter of this year, vnunet.com can
   exclusively reveal. The suite will initially be available for Red
   Hat Linux on Intel hardware and be extended to all major
   distributions of Linux.

   [...]

   SAS said the move is in response to customer demand. Of 550
   customers the company surveyed last year, more than three
   quarters were already running Linux, and nearly 90 per cent
   were interested in licensing a production release of SAS
   software for Linux.
