I beg to differ - [direct quote from post] "users are becoming interested
in Linux and OSS at rates much greater than in other parts of the world
[unquote]
I also think that opinions regarding Linux and FOSS should be relevant to
the part of the world the commentator resides, and *not* to make the
assumption their comments represent the whole world - it does not.
What other reason would there be for the rising popularity of Linux
magazines in the UK, other than customer interest?
