Try starting with this article from Intel. I mean come on, if Intel gets it, why can’t everyone else right? Highly recommended read. The page can be found here. They cover a lot of who is using Linux, what is changing, where it is going, how much it is growing by, etc, etc, etc. Basically, just memorize it, then go into your boss’s office and dazzle him/her.
I personally think this is funny as heck. Hmm, let’s see. When Red Hat filed its IPO in 1999, the stock market went crazy and people became millionaires over night (meaning the people that work there). I call it funny money and a lot of stupidity. I mean come on, anyone that buys a share of stock at $150.00 on a company that has only been selling about 3 Million dollars worth of software a year has got to be STUPID!
Have you ever said to yourself, “If I could start over and get what I wanted in a computer, I would get a blank.” I bumped into an article from Zdnet here that sorta touches on this topic. I have been a fan of just about everything at one time or another. However, I find myself coming back to an Enlightenment desktop more times than not (and don’t try running your P200 on it either). However, this article raises the question, right now who wins the desktop war? The authors vote in the practical sense for Windows 2K because of its stability but he prefers KDE on a Caldera machine. I would personally classify Caldera and KDE the worst torture on a desktop imagineable, but to each his own right? So, this opens up the question:
“What are you running, why, and if you had your druthers what would like to run?”
