Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
Is Linux really in as much trouble as some people are saying, following the negative US server shipments growth reported by IDC?
Observers should bear in mind that trying to double-guess OS trends based upon numbers of servers being shipped is notoriously dangerous territory. More so when we are talking Linux servers because of the number of recycled server deployments that exist in the enterprise space. All we can say for sure is that, in the US at least, Windows Server shipments exceeded the number of X86 server shipments during 2006. Draw whatever conclusions you will from that…
Translation: "My career as a pointless pundit is dead if I don't continue to manufacture empty sensationalism, and at all costs avoid anything resembling facts, information, or anything remotely useful or valuable to readers. Because god forbid I should be forced to seek work requiring actual effort and skills."
