Yeah, Linux is big in the data center. I'm curious what the current numbers are for its use there?

Getover it. Since I've moved to Atlanta, I've been directly in touch with over 5000 Linux systems whereas I've only seen about 20 commercial UNIX boxes. I think at least in the huge install space, Linux has already taken over. --j On Nov 23, 2009, at 7:10 PM, Ryan Burychka wrote: Linux is gradually gaining ground in the server market because of growing stability and a decrease in maintenance costs (more people are becoming familiar with Linux server administration). I don't ever see it "taking over" any of the market, but at some point it may come close to an equal share. My point is that Linux is currently better suited for owning server market-share. The desktop market will be controlled by MS and Apple for years to come - most non-technical people don't even realize there's an alternative.
