of course, we can deal with the companies and groups that are willing to share their experiences with linux. i am sure that there are a number of those who are able to share. (meaning no legal restriction) however, sharing takes effort and i hope that for the good of the community we all take time to answer these questions.
case studies make the best cases. why doesn't q-linux post and online submission ek-ek for this. what would happened is that q-linux can provide the service and thus use the data for their own needs provided they also share the survey results to the public. what do you guys think? also a lot has changed from the old survey. a solid example is the Ateneo which is already a very strongly Linux (not solaris not BSD but Linux) haus.
