Come on... everyone is hurting.
I am personally not really worried about "dying linux". I had given up on Linux desktop in 2000 but I still from time to time pop in a Linux distro to replace a windows box and viceversa. I swap.
But it really never was a problem since the money at least for me is on the server-side. Since I am an Open Source professional (meaning I make a living at it with JBoss) server-side java with Linux is a winning proposition.
I am amused by the alarmist tones in these threads here. Come on! there is no fucking way Linux dissapears on the server side. You can put pee in a pool you can't take it out. It has what 20-30% market share? Linux has DEFEATED microsoft in its tracks on server, mostly thanks to java.
So instead of weeping at the obvious, that there is a desktop monopoly and no one really cares, you should rejoice at the strength, really the amazing success of Linux as a server platform and join the ongoing battle for the webOS>
