[News] GNU/Linux and the Bottom-up Approach

Computing from the bottom up

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux (and, more broadly, open source in general) is perhaps the canonical 
| example of this trend. In some respects, Linux adoption just mimicked past 
| adoption patterns for distributed computing in general--from Windows NT 
| servers to PCs and even Unix in the early days. However, open source licenses 
| make backdoor sourcing one big quantum step easier. Indeed, the basic idea 
| that open source licensing helps to build a developer and user base that can 
| then be monetized when the software goes into production underpins a lot of 
| the thinking around business models associated with open source.

Laptops and Desktops running Linux continue to sell out

| When I decided to buy an Asus Eee I had a hard time finding one.  Amazon was 
| sold out.  Buy.com was sold out.  Many of the smaller websites I found were 
| also sold out, and claimed they would be in stock again on some future date.
