Is the use of Linux more popular in Europe? Just wondering?
That's probably a safe assumption... I know a fair number of people in the IT industry in Canada, and they have yet to encounter a company/person seriously interested in using Linux. That's not an accurate cross section of North America, but... but.. I now live/work in Europe, and I bump into way more Linux users here... both on a personal home user level and in the business world. My brother (who lives in Canada) made an observation recently that slowly Linux is starting to raise itself in the collective consciousness in Canada... enough so that he's bummed a copy of SUSE10.0 from me, and fired up his first real Linux install. Interestingly, his first comment... "that wasn't as hard to install as I've been told it was" :-) Good old SUSE... I think it's found yet another convert :-) Anyway, it's kind of hard to tell if Linux is truly more popular in one place over another. My experience makes me answer Yes, but others may have found things are a bit different. C.
