We are not large enough in Oz to have that distinction. The Windows oriented
PC mags (there aren't any other apart from Mac) offer Linux apps and distros
on their CD' s as approximately 20-25% of their content.
The demand is sufficiently large that there is no 'linux' section simply an
alphabetical list of applications this month. They are all mixed in and if it
has a penguin logo next to it and you don't know what that means, tuff. 2
years ago, the same mags would have a 'back of the book' section where an
occaisonal mac or linux app could be found, now, they're in your face.

Linux's popularity outside the US is significantly larger than boomtown USA.
It has very little to to with the goodness or otherwise of Linux, and a lot
to do with xenophobia. Most people outside of the USA see Msoft as just
another bit of American dominance.
Equally, I have also seen the reverse in the States where Linux suffers from
the not-made-here syndrome. Considering Redhat dominance, both views are
plainly skewed
