[LinuxUsers] Effect of the Depression on Technology

[Chris Penn]

"World domination shouldn't be goal for Linux."

World domination isn't the goal for Linux.  Linux and FOSS are about
increasing the users rights to use software in a nonrestrictive way
that benefits everyone.  The phenomena that is the community is what
has evolved Open Source into a better product.  Propaganda and the
lack of driver support from the proprietary community is what harms
Linux the most.  The goal should be to allow everyone a fair chance to
use whatever operating system they want.  If this could be
accomplished, desktop Linux world domination would probably follow
naturally;  It already has for servers.
