Eric:

Read my earlier reply for some of the answers.

In real terms, only Linux server software is popular here in the US.  
However, the potential for Linux on the desktop is much much greater and 
that's where my focus is (did you read the Perfect Pair article?).

As to the US only, we are at odds with the world in having 110 volt 60 
Mhz currency and the USA will be at odds with the world in how things 
are maketed and purchased.  The Linux community either uses those facts 
to its advantage or Linux will never become a factor, meaning >25% 
market share, here in the USA.
