Distrowatch.com Stats

| If a newbie reads about 5 distros before
| choosing one, that could mean that 7000
| newbies switched to GNU/Linux each day for
| the last year. Thatâs 2.5 million converts in
| a year. These are mostly geeks, of course.
| Ordinary folk just take their software pre-
| installed. Assuming there are 20 ordinary
| folk adopting GNU/Linux per geek, that is 50
| million converts. Of course geeks might lead
| a few to GNU/Linux or they might help them
| buy a PC pre-loaded with GNU/Linux.
| The world is becoming a better place, one convert at a time.

The World Is Mourning The Loss Of Bruno Knaapen â Linux Advocate
,----[ Quote ]
| I knew little about the man called Bruno. I
| knew he was a Linux advocate and he knew Linux
| inside out. He was patient with those who were
| trying to learn the OS and he always had the
| answer to any question that was posted in the
| forum. Looking over in the Scotâs Newsletter
| Forum, All Things Linux, Bruno has posted over
| 37,000 replies to questions or information for
| Linux users. He also had an excellent site
| called Tips For Linux Users in which he posted
| everything you needed to know about Linux.

| In Amsterdam, where Bruno lives, they have the
| option of "dignified death" (euthanasia by
| choice). Bruno has reached that point. He will
| be surrounded by his family as he takes his
| final journey beyond this existence. The time
| is set for this Saturday morning (Amsterdam
| time).

The Bruno Knaapen Technology Learning Center is Established
,----[ Quote ]
| It was just a short time ago that Scot Finnie
| announced a long-time Linux Advocate had
| fallen terribly Ill. His name is Bruno
| Knaapen and he is the author and maintainer
| of Brunolinux.com. We wrote about Bruno at
| Blog of helios and told you that we planned
| to dedicate a technology learning center to
| him. I began speaking with different people
| about various possibilities and locations for
| the center. It became obvious after a short
| time that we were not going to be able to
| find a suitable place any time soon.
