I have ubuntu installed, but am getting more and more inclined to dump it and install debian squeeze. Debian squeeze is Ubuntu 10.04 without the ad-ware. []'s

Suddenly you're the expert in all things Linux. The article is nonsense. "This leads naturally to thoughts of a shake-out, to consolidation within the space forcing some distros to just go away." Linux has 1% of the desktop market. Where's the shakeout going to be butthole? A much more likely scenario will be that most will increase market share because of the higher profile, not squabble over the 1%. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416.

The shake out of spoken is of > distros, not market share. Exactly, why will that happen? Distros target different applications. How do most of these companies make money? I doubt much is made from tablet PC's at present. They already have revenue streams, my guess is a huge chunk from server support of various kinds. How will a distro based around a tablet PC hurt these companies? Explain! -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you. You've been targeted for denigration! |
