I'm not contesting the claim if it's qualified as "wide adoption" because we're still far from that. But "early" adopters <> "wide" adopters. And by "early", I'm talking about a decade ago. Back then, there were people from the private sector who were interested in Linux too, but the early adopters I'm talking about were from the academe. I guess I'm just being nitpicky about the conclusions. Then again, institutional/organizational adoption is also not the same as individual adoption of Linux. eric -- ___ _____________________________ eric pareja (xenos AT maharlika.upm.edu.ph) \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group ] Linux User #8159 http://counter.li.org _v_ [Python Power!] [Debian Rocks!] [Ubiquitous Computing] /. #2834 Software Free the books!
