I don't believe that Linux in general has crossed the chasm yet. I think
it's *all* still in the "early adopters" stage. But within the "Linux
community" (oxymoron) FC is the early adopters of the early adopters.
That would put you in the conservative column then. So far at the 3
No, I am not. I'm in the Pragmatist group.
But you can't tell from what I wrote.
10,000+ person companies I have worked at for the last 5 years, we
have replaced 90% of our Solaris, AIX, mainframes etc with Linux. From
what I have been helping with at other sites this has been the trend
My opinion is based on the just recent (few months) decision of
State governments to use Open Document formats, rather than MS
proprietary. The people who use and promote Linux are, in the
business world at least, still the "golly gee!" crowd, and
not either the Pragmatists nor the Conservatives.
in the last 4 years. One site a friend works at just bought 5000 sun
boxes. Although they each have a Solaris license, none of them will be
using Solaris.. its just that the AMD hardware was considered better
to run the clusters on.
These are interesting stats, and indicate that Linux may now be
crossing the gap. I belive most offices are still firmly MS product
houses, and a move to Linux would not even be considered. I know
that every time I see a request for a resume, the format requested
is MS Word.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
