[ut3] Linux Client

[Bensch Blaser]

I highly doubt that. That's probably just the somewhat distorted view  
when you're in IT a lot and see a lot of Linux there.
Overall, it's still a tiny fraction. Linux penetration at home is, at  
least from what I have seen, very close to zero, once you leave the  
circle of IT engineers and nerds. I'm an organizer of LANs (the bigger  
ones) and even there, Linux barely outweighs the Macs, and that's a  
highly IT/nerdy environment.
