Survey reveals the latest state of play on all things Linux
Did you know that 36% of developers prefer commercial versions of Linux and 15% prefer a non-commercial version, but that the majority of developers (49%) say that it doesn’t matter? Were you aware that, on the desktop, KDE has moved ahead of GNOME for the first time? (65% versus 56%, with a good many developers using both).
If you didn't and weren't, then you really need to hurry along and order a copy of the latest Evans Data report, authored by its Linux analyst, Nicholas Petreley.
In the main finding of the report, Linux developers were found to be "overwhelmingly unconcerned" about the SCO lawsuit regarding the intellectual property rights of the core Unix code that sits at the center of Linux. 70% of the 600 Linux developers surveyed said that the SCO lawsuit will "probably not" or "absolutely not" impact their companies' decision to use Linux.
12% said that the lawsuit would affect adoption plans and 17% had no opinion.
