“In this report, we are analyzing who are the new Linux users?
How are they different from previous Linux users-in terms of
demographic information?”

“Linux is still in the early adoption stage. Although, the
growth rates are large, due to the small Linux user base, the
number of Linux users is still small. More importantly, its growth
