What's the big story in enterprise Linux that's going to impact IT shops 
in the next year? Why?

Hall: Actually, I think the next big story is in the VoIP [voice over 
Internet Protocol] space, and it is called "Asterisk." Asterisk is a 
F/OSS project that allows a complete PBX system to be implemented on an 
inexpensive PC with a couple of peripheral cards inserted. It has most, 
if not all, of the features that large, incredibly expensive PBX systems 
have. But most importantly, it is F/OSS, which means that a company can 
integrate the rest of their software into the PBX.
