You would be surprised to know how much of the world depends on linux. The majority of the internet is on safe reliable linux servers. Most high tech home appliances including tv's, bread machines, and capucino machines run linux. CNC machines overwhelmingly run linux. Cash Registers at the store... I could go on forever!
I understand with what ur saying but if that's the case How come nowbody here seems to be using it?
That's called "media" and "marketing". The Linux crowd doesn't have the marketing machine that MS and Apple do. And then, if they did, that would mean Linux would cost money.
You'd know many were using it depending on what sites/magazines you read and what social circles you moved in. I do not say that trying to sound snotty.
Think of it like cars. If you're in a car club for a specific make/model you'll hear more about that make/model than any others.
If you read on
/. or TechRepublic or many other tech sites you'd see more about Linux than you could ever want.
