What Developers Think 

,----[ Quote ]
| The majority of developers still write code on 
| Windows PCs, but when they deploy apps, almost 
| one in four targets Linux as their primary 
| deployment operating system. And while 5% of 
| developers have moved to a Mac as their 
| primary development machine, most of them are 
| targeting Linux or Windows as a primary 
| deployment operating system, not OS X.
| 
| Linux's popularity has grown as more 
| developers build Web applications and shift 
| their focus to the server components, 
| especially in the Java/Web space. The 
| economies of scale when deploying to a LAMP 
| stack, or Linux/Apache/Tomcat or 
| Linux/Apache/JBoss combinations, make Linux on 
| the server an attractive proposition. This is 
| especially true in environments making heavy 
| use of virtualization, since developers don't 
| have to stop and ask, "Do I have a license for 
| that image I just created?"
