Linux jumps into handheld battle
The giants in handheld computer software, Palm Inc. and Microsoft Corp., will soon get a new competitor: Linux, the free operating system. The cult software, developed by a global network of developers overseen by Finnish programmer Linus Torvalds, has long been targeted at PCs and corporate-server computers. It's positioned as an inexpensive, reliable alternative to Microsoft's Windows and to versions of the Unix operating system sold by Sun Microsystems Inc. and others.
