I have found that many computer professionals tend to use Linux at
home. Most of the people I have spoken with at Netscape tech support
use Linux. I have also learned that the folks at Godard Spaceflight
like Linux. Today I was driving to work and saw a Linux bumper
sticker. (Are you listening S.u.S.E) I am curious to know how many
people use Linux. Does anybody have statistics on this? How fast is it
growing?
On a related note, I have found that products like the Netscape
Communicator are not fully functional on Linux. For example, I was
using Netscape on windows NT and found a neat page that had really cool
mouseover Java Script. This does not seem to work with my Linux version
of Netscape. If any one else wants to see what I am talking about,
try: http://www.nokia.com/6100launch=
/feat_ir.html>. under NT when I
mouse over the parts of the phone the different text sections pop up
immediately. In Linux I need to click on the parts of the phone. I
find there are other features that don't exist under the Linux version
of Netscape. It may be that these features don't exist on any Unix
versions. It seems to me that if there is a growing Linux user
community it would be wise of companies such as Netscape to provide
better functionality than they do. Any thoughts?

I tried going to the site, and Netscape loaded everything fine. It was
very slow however, Netscape is always slow it seems. I had troubles loading
Netscape off the CD (I was a beginner then) so I went and got Netscape
from their Home Page and used their instuctions and everything worked fine,
altho' it took me a week to get my mail from my ISP because I didn't have
everything just right.

I just got a copy of SuSE and I must admit it is very good. Couldn't get
suseppp to work, so I finally forced myself into giving up and just
manually doing ppp with SuSE's little add-on dialog-box thing (via YaST).
The real problem I've been having though, is that even if I use the exact
same version and configuration for LILO as I did to do LILO under
Slackware, it works under Slackware and not SuSE. Odd, considering, the
exact same file lilo.conf just copied over. If I use linear (under SuSE)
it just gives me an L on boot, if not, LI. I have read through LILO
documentation, know what these messages mean, and am still confounded
because I just can't get it working!

Is this on the same partition or drive as sw? I had rh 4.2 installed on
my machine before suse, and it caused these sort ofproblems until i was
tired of it and formatted the partition, and reinstalled suse.

Do you need to use linear? I just looked at the yast help, and it said
that it's faster (which i have found to usually be better) to not use
the linear option.

This might be not *THE* official source, but it provides some info. You
can register your Linux box there. See:

/counter.li.org>
They provided some sort of statistics when I visited the site some month
ago.

In a recent article in one of the major industry rags, the fiture listed
is 100 0rowth for Linux, which MickySoft can't claim!

I'd agree....much left to be done.
