Is Linux at the Precipice or at the Crossroads?
Those of you who follow the state of Linux may realize that Linux is now at the precipice or "jumping off place" as an operating system. Linux, to others, is viewed as being at the crossroads for success. What's the difference, for Linux, in teetering at the precipice and standing at the crossroads? |

It's at the tsunami. It's at the nadir. Or perhaps the penultimate peninsula. It might be at train station, waitin' for a train. Where it is is where it's at. Shuffling off to Buffalo.
Your so awesome Carla.
Maybe it IS shuffling off to Buffalo. Think of Niagara Falls as the OS market. You have the Canadian side, and the American side. Most tourists end up at the Canadian side, because there's all those cheesy attractions there that have nothing to do with the falls or nature. The American side is more tranquil and un-cheesy. Much better to enjoy a stroll next to the falls.
There... I made just as much sense as the original article.

jagoc: Really? I would expected it the other way around. Cheesy stuff on the US side and tranquil nature on the Canadian side.
Hehe, ohhhh no... exhibit A:
Note the picture of the Burger King. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/4494
And granted it's American cheese... but still, it's on Canadian soil. The town is littered with that sort of thing. By contrast, the American side has very little. Not exactly "natury" though, since there's paving and buildings, but still... none of the over-commercialisation of the Canadian side.

No, but the view of the falls is much more impressive on the Canadian side.

Indeed, but if I were king, I would declare that as the perfect reason not to cheese it up. I guess they get to make their money that way.
Hey, my lame metaphor is starting to sound less lame.
