From the same guy as "Why 100% Free SOftware Destroys Linux": "There are many fantastic Open Source projects out there. But just how do they get the funding they need to continue and expand development?"

“What’s your primary Linux distribution of choice?“. Every time I talk with my neighborhood’s friends, this is one of the usual questions always come up… always! And the curious thing is that every one has the perfect answer: Debian! Ubuntu! Mandriva! whatever! Do you know how many Linux distros are available around the Internet? Too many!!!

In the near future, the semantic web data will be precisely tagged and thus a whole lot easier to find.

Do we have to sacrifice anonymity on the web in order to retain trust for collaboration?

Once I got a good look at Vista, I knew desktop Linux was in for good times. Vista was, and still is, a disaster of an operating system. I was right too. When netbooks started coming out, it was Linux, not Vista, that ruled.

So here we are, entering another year- and no doubt at some point during this year, more than one person will declare it the "year of the Linux desktop".
