SAP is a German software company, who make a very large, resource hungry 
and expensive piece of software called R/3.  R/3 is an 'enterprise 
resource package' or ERP, which means it is an integrated payroll, 
accounting, supply, maintenance, HR, ... everything to run your business 
package.

This is a big endorsement for Linux's credibility as a server platform, 
and obviously many of SAP's customers are asking for it already.
