What a joke you Linux loons are.

Why?
Are you jealous, Roy Schestowitz.

Please indicate how the following can be accurately
measured, and what the measurement should be.
Do *not* include self-selected surveys.

[1] A Linux native desktop box, connected to the Internet.
(This one should be a gimme.)

[2] A Linux native desktop box, *not* connected to the Internet
(though it might be connected to a corporate WAN).

[3] A Linux multiboot desktop box.

[4] A coLinux or other such installation. (www.colinux.org)

[5] A Windows, MacOSX, or other such box running Linux in VmWare,
QEMU, or other such emulation software.

[6] A Linux/MACOSX EFI splitboot. This apparently is
possible one core runs one OS and another core runs
the other. Presumably a hotkey can switch between
them, and there is a well-defined communications system
between the two.

[7] A Linux native desktop box running several VmWare, QEMU or UML
instances, each running a Linux kernel.

[8] A Linux native desktop box running several VmWare or QEMU instances, each
running a Windows image (with appropriate licensing), a FreeBSD
image, a HURD image, a ReactOS image, or another non-Linux image.

[9] A Linux native desktop box which runs WinE and Windows software
such as Microsoft Exchange, IE, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

[10] A Linux native desktop box which is serving as a firewall for
downstream Windows boxes.

[11] A Linux native server box, connected to the Internet.
(For purposes of this discussion, a server box is a box
primarily intended to near-simultaneously service
multiple users. Things do get very fuzzy here.)

[12] A Linux native server box, not connected to the Internet
(but connected to a corporate WAN).
