"Linux IS inevitable." Jon Hall, 2002 (or should this be earlier?)
(caps mine)
This phrase sums up perfectly what is happening/going to happen to
the world of computing platforms(IMHO). At least as long as we don't get
too smug or complacent about it. :-)
Heh - I might put it in my sig. Or perhaps not, alleging inevitability
might generate complacency which would be fatal.
As always - No generalization is ever completely true.....
