Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols plays with Google Trends (http://www.google.com/trends) to see what countries Linux is popular. Some excerpts:
<excerpt> Heck, for that matter, English-speakers aren't even on Linux's top-ten "language searched in" list. It's the Russians with a wide lead followed by Hungarian- and Romanian-speakers. German, by this metric, comes in at number six. </excerpt> <excerpt> What about the U.S. as a country when it comes to Red Hat interest? Nope, we're not even in the top five. The five countries in the world with the most interest in Red are: India, the Philippines, Russia, Columbia, and Mexico. With the Philippines coming up fast in outsourcing, I suspect we're going to be seeing a lot of outsourced data-center work in Red Hat's future. </excerpt> http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS5056220977.html -- Daniel O.
