Is this a sign that linux is becoming more mature, and fewer problems
arise? Or was 2006 the year of the troll ?
I wonder how these numbers line up with total list membership in the year.
Back when I first encountered Linux it had the atmosphere of an exciting
insurgency. A unruly upstart seeking to overturn the status-quo.
We no longer have to wrestle with installs and consult widely to get the OS to
boot. It is the default OS for many tasks.
Now Linux is more dependable. This means more reliability but less excitement.
This is a good thing.....mostly.
Cheers Ross Drummond
.....what he said.
I am in the middle of using Linux to recover a Windows PC for a friend.
Happy New Year.
