Netcraft Confirms : "Linux on the iPod" Is DyingYet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Linux on the iPod community when last month IDC confirmed that Linux on the iPod accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Linux on the iPod has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Linux on the iPod is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in th recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Linux on the iPod's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Linux on the iPod faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux on the iPod because Linux on the iPod is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux on the iPod. As many of us are already aware, Linux on the iPod continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Linux on the iPod leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Linux on the iPod. How many users of Linux on the iPod are there? Let's see. The number of Linux on the iPod versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Linux on the iPod users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Linux on the iPod posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put Linux on the iPod at about 80 percent of the Linux on the iPod market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Linux on the iPod users. This is consistent with the number of Linux on the iPod Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, Linux on the iPod went out of business and was taken over by Linux on the iPod who sell another troubled OS. Now Linux on the iPod is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Linux on the iPod has steadily declined in market share. Linux on the iPod is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Linux on the iPod is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. Linux on the iPod continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Linux on the iPod is dead.

A couple of solutions
If you are using Windows 2000/2003, an easy redundant file serving solution is to setup DFS (distributed file system). Just a tip, don't setup a domain-wide share for a file server that gets a lot of updates. Using DFS like that can create an administrative nightmare (last writer wins situation). You would want to use a domain-wide share if you have a lot of read-only files (like installation files, PDF image archives, etc) and you need a high-availability solution. You would be restoring files from tape a lot. Anyhoo, if your first server crashes, temporarily redirect your users to the second server either via DNS or just renaming the servers. DFS doesn't replicate printers, so you would have to install a new printer two times, once on the first server and a second time on your second server. Shouldn't be too much a problem if you only have 15 users.
If you are using Linux/UNIX/*BSD, you could use Rsync. There was a great article explaining Rsync usage in the June '04 print edition of SysAdmin. -

I second the suggestion of submitting the work to a journal. Specifically, you could submit it to the LISA (Large Installation Systems Administration) conference, and get it into their proceedings. Or you could try

Also, there's Sysadmin Magazine. If it's Linux related, there are a whole slew of Linux mags, of course. -

You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict The Customer is Always Wrong's future. The hand writing is on the wall: The Customer is Always Wrong faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for The Customer is Always Wrong because The Customer is Always Wrong is dying. Things are looking very bad for The Customer is Always Wrong. As many of us are already aware, The Customer is Always Wrong continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
The Customer is Always Wrong leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of The Customer is Always Wrong. How many users of The Customer is Always Wrong are there? Let's see. The number of The Customer is Always Wrong versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 The Customer is Always Wrong users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of The Customer is Always Wrong posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put The Customer is Always Wrong at about 80 percent of the The Customer is Always Wrong market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 The Customer is Always Wrong users. This is consistent with the number of The Customer is Always Wrong Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, The Customer is Always Wrong went out of business and was taken over by The Customer is Always Wrong who sell another troubled OS. Now The Customer is Always Wrong is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that The Customer is Always Wrong has steadily declined in market share. The Customer is Always Wrong is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If The Customer is Always Wrong is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. The Customer is Always Wrong continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, The Customer is Always Wrong is dead.

Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in th recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
