"Easy Linux" That’s pretty much the only thing that will ever increase *nix’s market share beyond the 2-10% it is now in the ‘home user’ demographic. ‘Cause let’s face it, if you’re asking ‘Mom’ to make decisions on partition structure or “ssh server” during the install, you’ve lost the entire ‘home user’ demographic... As to IBM buying RH? IBM’s one of the odder multi-national conglomerates. They have been known to support ‘stuff’ for the good of mankind (or at least IT-kind). But, they also do weirdness like selling their notebook and x86 server lines to Chinese Lenovo, which completely destroyed their “one stop shop” / “soup to nuts” capabilities. Hopefully, as mentioned earlier, IBM will dissemble systemd, as they pretty much do understand the concept of ‘up time,’ but... Given they didn’t listen to their sales exec’s on the x86 stuff, who knows?
