Ubuntu Continues to Grab Market Share
slasher writes "MadPenguin.org discusses the future of Ubuntu and confirms Ubuntu's growing market share in the Linux market. Author Matt Hartley writes, "Now, for the biggest question: do high numbers mean that Ubuntu is the best distribution out there? Some will argue that this is an impossible point to make, as each person has different needs from their distribution. But for the sake of this article, we will be considering the average user, not the Slackware crowd, who is obviously much more comfortable within a command line environment than mainstream users."
Where is everyone at?
That's all these stupid jack-asses can say! "command-line environment! command-line environment! command-line environment!" I could train a parrot to do your job! Windows XP has a command-line environment! Mac OS X has a command-line environment! All flavors of Linux (Ubuntu included) have a command-line environment, as do BSD, Minix, Solaris, Plan Nine from Bell Labs, and every computer that has ever been invented from a mainframe to a digital wristwatch and every computer that will ever be invented for all of eternity! GOD HIMSELF COULD NOT BUILD A COMPUTER WITHOUT A COMMAND LINE ENVIRONMENT, AS HE COULD NOT CONSTRUCT A LIFE FORM THAT DOES NOT EAT, BREATHE, AND REPRODUCE!
Every time you UTTER THE PHRASE "command-line environment" as a liability, you have instantly and irrevocably discredited yourself from all possibility of knowing your ass from a hole in the ground! Next story!
Now just imagine how hugely popular Ubuntu would be if it didn't default to SHIT BROWN.
I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.
