Awesome! I think all 9 pictures reflect some truth. I wonder if the creator has a linux bias, as I see nothing negative in the perceptions of linux as shown. Old hardware? Command line? Sweet.

As always. Most of these things seem to be written with linux bias.

Freedom of choice is what it is all about, I can use any OS but I choose one that works best for me. No one operating system is best at everything. You have just proven the joke in the supplied picture, clearly you are a linux fanboy. |

I think you are a bit cavalier about labeling people. |

Stating opinion as fact, thus lends it's self to fanboy hood. Saying that anything is so far superior to all others means you are a fanboy of it. |

Freedom of choice is what it is all about, I can use any OS but I choose one that works best for me. No one operating system is best at everything. You have just proven the joke in the supplied picture, clearly you are a linux fanboy. Yep - my opinion and the opinion of many others, mostly in the corporate world, where it really counts. One of the best things about GNU/Linux is freedom of choice - this also includes freedom from LICENSING (i.e. *cost*). Yes, the majority of the work I do is under Linux or targeted to the Linux platform, so I have some bias. Of the top 10 most reliable hosting companies, 6 run a Linux distro, 2 run FreeBSD (another Unix clone), 1 runs WinServer 2003. Apache owns 67% of the server market, while M$ has 17% (this is for the top servers for the million busiest sites - obviously Apache is not Linux, but most Apache implements are on a *Nix platform). Of the top 500 supercomputers, 458 run Linux, 37 run a form of Unix, and *5* run Windows HPC Server (1%). What does that say? Every meaningful project I've worked on in the corporate and government worlds, in the last 10 years, uses a mainframe, running a Linux distro. The list goes on. Yes, I agree, anyone can choose any OS they feel is the best for their needs, but if you want reliability, higher performance, more uptime, less virus fiddling, less crashes, ad nauseum, it makes sense to do as corporations do. (I play Duke Nukem, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty 2, Half Life 2, Quake 4, Soldier of Fortune 4, Unreal, among others, on GNU/Linux. ) Try this with WIndows :) ... guser@ren $ uptime 11:20 up 693 days, 13:36, |

All of your stats are for the server/mainframe market, where linux/unix is the undisputed leader. You say the corporate world is all that counts, once again in your opinion. I work in IT doing tech support for one of the top fortune 500 companies and it is a purely windows environment.
I heartily support Windows as thats what my livelihood is, doing tech support on the windows platform. |
