I think it is just basic business economics. RedHat is a lot cheaper to use than AIX since IBM is expensive; and the world has shifted and there are a lot of very talented Linux people on the market. This is very different than it was a decade or so ago, when Linux people has trouble finding work. Now the tides have reversed, from what I have seen. But since I am not directly in the job market my knowledge is limited.

Discussion culture

I want to start a small thread about discussion culture. From the past experience in different fora, I have little hope that any will come out of it. But I'll try it anyway, hoping to contributing to an improvement on the topic. I do not want to discuss a specific technical question, but only...

popularity-contest

POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)													     POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)

NAME

       popularity-contest - list the most popular Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       popularity-contest

DESCRIPTION

       The  popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently
       used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout.

       When aggregated with the output of popularity-contest from many other systems, this information is valuable  because  it  can  be  used	to
       determine  which  Debian  packages are commonly installed, used, or installed and never used.  This helps Debian maintainers make decisions
       such as	which packages should be installed by default on new systems.

       The resulting statistic is available from the project home page http://popcon.debian.org/.

       Normally, popularity-contest is run from a cron(8) job, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest, which  automatically  submits  the  results	to
       Debian  package	maintainers  (only  once  a week) according to the settings in /etc/popularity-contest.conf and /usr/share/popularity-con-
       test/default.conf.

       Additional documentation is in /usr/share/doc/popularity-contest/.
