It's a large market out there and we can make it if we get our priorities right. regards, Mukul On 12/20/07, Zhukov Pavel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Dec 20, 2007 4:12 PM, Marc Wiriadisastra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > On Thu, 2007-12-20 at 16:06 +0300, Zhukov Pavel wrote: > > > On Dec 20, 2007 3:20 PM, Marc Wiriadisastra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Interesting post about whether Fedora is more popular for dev's than > > > > Ubuntu. > > > > > > > > > http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2007/12/18/fedora-more-successful-developer-wise-than-ubuntu > > > > > > > > I personally don't think it's a fair comparison because Ubuntu is > > > > derived from Debian and there is cross over.
