I'd certainly be interested in hearing from you guys what kind of growth and 
changes you've seen over the last few years - especially if you'll be 
providing food like last time ;-)

The impression I get is that use of Linux in businesses in the region has 
grown significantly over the last five years or so, but it's all been done 
fairly quietly - mainly small and medium businesses, some of whom don't even 
realise they're using it as they've bought a transparent black-box solution 
which 'just works'.

David.
