| Look what freely giving worthwhile stuff to
| people gets you:
|
| * FedoraProject.org up 18% and in the top
| 1000 sites in some parts of the world.
| * Debian GNU/Linux is in the top 3000
| over much of Europe.
| * Ubuntu.com in the top 400 over much of
| the world
|
| Those organizations give stuff away for free
| sincerely and without trying to manipulate
| anyone. There are hundreds of GNU/Linux
| distros and most are thriving, taking a
| serious and increasing share of the desktop
| OS market.

The end of the (Linux) desktop as we know it ?
,----[ Quote ]
| More and more of the Linux ecosystem (PC
| hardware vendor, phone hardware vendor,
| search engine giant and more recently a
| well known Linux distro, Ubuntu) uses
| Linux as an embedded system for the
| desktop. Some examples to illustrate this
| trend :
|
| * Asus Express gate embed Linux in
| the motherboard. You can have, in a
| few seconds, a browser, skype, etc.
| * Google Chrome OS : not yet released
| but it is define as the Web OS with a
| minimalist/zen approach (like an OS
| based on Chrome, the browser)
| * Mobile platform : you'll have
| plenty to choose. ARM based :
| Symbian, Meego, Android, etc.
| * Last but not least, Canonical
| announce "Unity", a minimal/Zen OS
| that will be available to OEM but can
| be nonetheless deployed on Ubuntu
| Lucid and later.
