- DickBreath, on 04/30/2008, -2/+16Do you use Google? Do you have a TiVo? Use almost any brand of wireless router? Use a network storage appliance? Have a Motorola RAZR v8 in your pocket? Use an Archos media player? Neuros? Is your cable company's DVR a Moxi?
Then you're using Linux.

- Sammi84, on 05/01/2008, -1/+7Forget the "year of Linux". It's been steadily taking over since its very first release.
And all signs in the stars say that we'll continue to see Linux rise steadily in the future.- estvir, on 05/01/2008, -6/+2Steadily? Not going above 1.0% for a ~ decade isn't steady.

Ok, so i guess that should do it. - daftman, on 05/01/2008, -1/+51.0% of what? Desktop? Server? Embedded? Mobile? Super Computers? Console?
If you're dumb enough to pull a random number out of your ass, at least make it appear in some context.- 4DFX, on 05/01/2008, -1/+4He's a Microsoftie. Just check his comments.

- presidentjapan, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2I'll do you one better, I use GIMP. Great app if you don't need all the features of PS, but still want to do more than what... Paint... can (can't?) do.
- Balk2K, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3Yeah, how about 95% of web servers?
- Jacksteruk309, on 05/02/2008, -0/+0Hate to rain on the parade but it's not quite 95% in the web server market unfortunately :-(
Although if you happen to know of some evidence that 95% of web servers run Linux I'd gladly agree with you :-D
