Q. Is the Linux market share increasing or has it stabilized?
A. It is on the increase. At my employer we use embedded Linux , enterprise Linux, as well as small device Linux (Android).
Perhaps the enterprise sector is growing the fastest (Redhat, Centos, Novel Suse, and IBM).
Google Android is taking over the smart phone market.
MAC OS is for all practical purposes Linux.

what will happened to the drivers of my pc if i change from win7 to MAC or Linux?
Q. i am planning to change my OS from windows 7 to MAC or Linux but i am quite afraid that if i do it, the drivers in my printer, camera, motherboard, bluetooth, joystick, ect. won't work anymore.
i just wanna confirm, if my doubts are correct that the drivers that i have right now will no longer work if ever i install MAC or Linux.
i also wanna ask your advice with what versions of MAC/Linux should i use? and why?

A. linux and mac also have built-in drivers
but some of your drivers have to reinstall them (with Linux and mac versions)
i will recommend you Linux
Linux Advantages (short)
Open Source
its free
less virus
Linux Advantages (full description)
#1 Low cost: You donât need to spend time and money to obtain licenses since Linux and much of its software come with the GNU General Public License. You can start to work immediately without worrying that your software may stop working anytime because the free trial version expires. Additionally, there are large repositories from which you can freely download high quality software for almost any task you can think of.
#2 Stability: Linux doesnât need to be rebooted periodically to maintain performance levels. It doesnât freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks and such. Continuous up-times of hundreds of days (up to a year or more) are not uncommon.
#3 Performance: Linux provides persistent high performance on workstations and on networks. It can handle unusually large numbers of users simultaneously, and can make old computers sufficiently responsive to be useful again.
# 4 Network friendliness: Linux was developed by a group of programmers over the Internet and has therefore strong support for network functionality; client and server systems can be easily set up on any computer running Linux. It can perform tasks such as network backups faster and more reliably than alternative systems.
#5 Flexibility: Linux can be used for high performance server applications, desktop applications, and embedded systems. You can save disk space by only installing the components needed for a particular use. You can restrict the use of specific computers by installing for example only selected office applications instead of the whole suite.
#6 Compatibility: It runs all common Unix software packages and can process all common file formats.
#7 Choice: The large number of Linux distributions gives you a choice. Each distribution is developed and supported by a different organization. You can pick the one you like best; the core functionalities are the same; most software runs on most distributions.
#8 Full use of hard disk: Linux continues work well even when the hard disk is almost full.
#9 Multitasking: Linux is designed to do many things at the same time; e.g., a large printing job in the background wonât slow down your other work.
#10 Security: Linux is one of the most secure operating systems. âWallsâ and flexible file access permission systems prevent access by unwanted visitors or viruses. Linux users have to option to select and safely download software, free of charge, from online repositories containing thousands of high quality packages. No purchase transactions requiring credit card numbers or other sensitive personal information are necessary.
#11 Open Source: If you develop software that requires knowledge or modification of the operating system code, Linuxâs source code is at your fingertips. Most Linux applications are Open Source as well.

How to format or wipe a compact flash that is used for an embedded operating system?
Q. I have an ATP 4GB Compact Flash that is used for a computer and not for photos or with a camera.
It is Linux OS and after I format it in Win XP, the files are still there. Is there a program such as Boot and Nuke(which is for IDE drives) that will wipe the compact flash clean??
I've also tried to fdisk/format in DOS which does not work either. Any suggestions?

A. I'd say you have a bigger problem. Formatting isn't typically conditional. You don't complete a format, only to find that there are still files a card or drive. When a new file table is applied to a media device, it should be destroying any data on the card. I would use the Windows Disk Utility to delete the partition on that card, and then apply a new format to the drive. Do not use the Quick Format option either.
