50 Places Linux is Running That You Might Not Expect
,----[ Quote ]
| It was not long ago when Microsoft Windows
| had a tight stranglehold on the operating
| system market. Walk into a Circuit City or
| Staples, it seemed, and virtually any
| computer you took home would be running the
| most current flavor of Windows. Ditto for
| computers ordered direct from a
| manufacturer. In the last decade, though,
| the operating system market has begun to
| change. Slightly more than 5% of all
| computers now run Mac, according to
| NetMarketShare.com. Linux is hovering just
| beneath 1% of the overall market share in
| operating systems. And although that might
| sound like a small number, Linux is far
| more than just a fringe OS. In fact, it's
| running in quite a few more places than you
| probably suspect. Below are fifty places
| Linux is running today in place of Windows
| or Mac. For easy reading, they are divided
| amongst government, home, business, and
| educational usage.

Editor's Note: All This Great Technology Just to Reinvent Television
,----[ Quote ]
| But I think the real goal is not to enable
| us little birds to do great things like we
| can do with our standalone Linux apps, like
| create professional-quality music,
| photographs, publishing, drawings,
| programming, make movies, and what-have-
| you. We're not supposed to do anything but
| open our little beaks and consume whatever
| they see fit to serve us. Which is such a
| waste when we have all this great
| technology at our fingertips. No thanks,
| I'll keep my Linux Shopsmith.
