android bring linux to end user

one of the thing that I think is great in android is that it bring linux to the end user.
Until now linux was used mainly on servers, super computer and embedded device.


However now with the smartphone and tablets, many people that never heard about linux use it without nowing it.

The next step will be android in netbook and from it to personal computer.
As for the chrome OS, I believe it is goign to be a failure.

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file. OPTIONS
-V, --version Output version information and exit. -h, --help Display help and exit. FILES
/etc/rc.local SEE ALSO
init(8) AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek <poe@daimi.aau.dk> AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils /util-linux/>. util-linux August 2011 CTRLALTDEL(8)
