Thanks who is secretly photographed Lei feng’s post
News source: Pingdom.com, large loved data network translation
Past most of the hardcore fans need to admit they like Linux does not capture much of the OS in the PC market share, this also includes the Pingdom we even over 50% agents and developers in the use of Linux. Ubuntu has achieved a great success, but does not help in low desktop market share of Linux broke.

But if recent data continues, the situation will change.

Linux beats Windows 7
Linux has started wars in the desktop market, but in recent years it has been lingering at around 1%. Sadly Tux,Mac OS x fanboys is carved up the Linux market share.

And, no matter what method, area of Linux on the desktop has been a share of single digits. However, based on the data, we can hope, that is from January 9-month of May 2011 to 2012 has increased 64%.

This makes Linux the fastest during the desktop operating system. Second Windows 7 rate of only 37%.

The only way out is to grow!

Apparently, Linux on the desktop side of the machine is still very small, but if you keep up the pace, it will become a force that should not be overlooked.

There are thousands of reasons to make you choose as your desktop Linux operating system, including free, stable, secure, and runs on almost any hardware, and so on. But no matter what is the reason you have chosen Linux, this message must be very excited.

So, Linux enthusiasts, cheered for our favorite OS, and hope that this trend will continue and even grow. Remember, the only treatment is growing.

Thanks Turing’s post

Bill Gates was in the software: “If you want good software, you have to pay for it.”. However, GNU Linux and open source software has relentlessly to his ideal break. Linux show there is, good software, good operating system for free, or in need of free communication between people.

Of course, Linux has some shortcomings, such as the on-board software and sometimes doesn’t work with Windows under Parallels software, game-loving people is not enough to attract people for games. However, you can adjust the system according to their needs, and personalization. At the same time there are hundreds of Linux distributions, free choice.

Oracle, Linux and Solaris, who you love?

April 14th, 2012 No comments

Thank the Linux community in China post
Oracle’s operating system in a very interesting position: he was with the Linux distributions (Oracle Enterprise Linux), as well as Unix (Solaris). Plays a Linux/Unix in which Oracle supports the dual roles of manufacturers. Last week, Oracle released Solaris 11, was their first Unix distributions. It makes me curious to know how Solaris will change the status of Oracle on Linux.

I had an interview with Oracle software development department Deputy tube Markus Flierl, but the answer is somewhat unexpected.

Flierl told reporters that the Oracle Linux/Unix location is not hard and fast. This position cannot simply rely on the input of both human and material terms.

“We need to consider the type of customer, as well as their historical information. We say there is only one thing to do a project because of different things there must be overlapping in places. “Flierl said. “Frankly, we avoid positioning themselves, because position often brings confusion. ”

Flierl pointed out that today for Linux and Unix argument seems to be in the discussion of the orientation of Oracle in the chip is positioned as x86 or SPARC. In fact, Oracle officials have said they want to provide support at the same time, equal to two platforms. (Oracle CEO Larry Ellison did last month some of the comments made on this issue, but in fact he didn’t seem too concerned with issues relevant to x86)

For confusing struggle between x86/SPARC and Linux/Solaris, Flierl and historical factors as current development trends is an important factor driving results.

“In most cases, these disputes were eventually automatically ‘ resolved ‘, because prior to that already had put money into the company corresponds to the area, or reorientation of the work later. ”

Flierl, explains why? Oracle is said on these two operating systems: yizhe yizhe loves more than another?

At least not yet. Prior to Oracle, some manufacturers treat difference between Unix and Linux. I am referring to is HP’s attitude towards Linux/Unix in the past ten years, they provide both HP-UX also provide Linux support. However, in the end, HP is also considered “mature more Unix than Linux”. Fortunately, Oracle hasn’t said similar words.

Solaris/Linux battle on the Oracle itself can be said to be a “tough decision”. But fortunately, this dispute is not “bandit”, because they do not involve who is more “critical”, who also does not involve “many”, that Oracle is a good thing.

In recent years, many Linux vendors invest a lot of money to help users migrate from Solaris to Linux. Manufacturers will continue to do so indefinitely, that’s for sure. But Oracle hasn’t formally declared they want to migrate from Linux to Solaris users, which means that users migrate from Solatis to Linux in the next period of time is also a one-way flow.
