Current User question.

SLundqvist · 07-30-2007, 06:28 PM

I am doing a paper for my college, and I need to find who are the main users of Linux. Second question would be who would be the potential users of Linux. I have no idea who the current users mainly are, but I would think that because of the low cost of Linux, Education systems and Corporate businesses would be inclined to move into that direction.

Any thoughts, and reference links would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!

Unless you run some kind of survey, it is unlikely that you will find out whether it is Industry, or the ordinary Home Users who are the main users of GNU/Linux.

The biggest potential users in my opinion are those who want to take back control of their pc's.

Here's a link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

A poll would indeed provide you with some usable info.

As for myself, I'm just a computer user.
