Mainstream U.S. Media Discovers Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The VAR Guy was flipping though his Sunday morning paper when he spotted an
| article about Ubuntu Linux. He took a few more sips of coffee to perk up and
| make sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him. Sure enough, Ubuntu had made the
| leap into the mainstream media — earning coverage in Newsday, the eight
| largest newspaper in the nation. Has Ubuntu reached its tipping point with
| consumers?

Linux in mainstream culture
,----[ Quote ]
| Even if people are not comfortable with the idea, Linux is beginning to
| become more mainstream than we imagine. The production of machines such as
| the Asus EEE, Dell’s selling of Ubuntu-powered machines, Acer’s computers
| running on Linpus and now we have HP with small notebooks which run Linux —
| these have all helped in making it more known to the general public.

The Buzz Word Today Is Change
,----[ Quote ]
| Maybe that's one of the reasons Linux has taken off in the last year; maybe
| it's the people's hunger for change that's driving companies like Dell and
| Sears to package Linux integrated computers. It might be that people are
| growing tired of expensive proprietary software that never works, provides
| poor support, is devoid of expansive, contributing communities, forces them
| to purchase new hardware sooner than they would like, and forces them to wait
| years between releases.
|
| [...]
|
| With some hope, people are realizing how much choice is out there. These
| choices help to force the big software vendors to reduce their prices, help
| to bring about change and innovation, help to put money back into the pockets
| of computer users every where.
