Linux and Laptops
Friday, August 18, 2006
Were you to walk around LinuxWorld in San Francisco this week, for almost every person you’d see sitting, you’d see a laptop in front of them. And, if you’re a snoopy person, you’d also see that about half of those laptops were running Linux. That doesn’t sound like that much? Think again. Even a year ago, Linux-powered laptops were a rarity.
“… about a third of those desktops were running the newest Ubuntu, another third were running either openSUSE or SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop), and the final third were Freespire or Linspire. I also saw a scattering of Xandros and other Linux distributions. “
