To the desktop! And beyond!

Another quarter, another major advance in Linux' move to the desktop.

At least if we judge from service calls. Last September we reported that Linuxcare noticed a 27% increase in in the number of desktop incidents, while service calls for file, print and Web servers went down. Now we have the third quarter numbers, and the trend continues:


April May June July Aug Sept
Desktop 52% 59% 66% 75% 84% 88%
File/Print Server 28% 30% 17% 18% 12% 10%
Web Server 20% 11% 17% 7% 4% 2%

Totals= 100%
