> oh yeah, and about the american market not being important for linux?
It is not important. The other guy was right. You US folks are so deeply dug into Windows ... I don't mean it as an offence, but fact is that we Europeans are far more suspicious about Microsoft and their crappy OS, and this directly translates into a wider spread use of alternatives such as Linux and *BSD in the European corporate world than in the US. And also the other claim is correct: KDE is far more popular here, nobody, except the few Red Hat users here, use GNOME. I am not saying GNOME is bad or something, it just isn't as popular as KDE. Cultural difference maybe, I don't know.
