Dear All,
We value and always love to have your thoughts on our story. We did get
an interesting set of comments from you all on our last story idea ' How
important are FOSS certifications when it comes to the job market?' We
have incorporated your views/ opinions in the story and we will soon
share the article with you. (This is scheduled for our forthcoming print
edition).
Well, we bring you another idea and we would appreciate if you share
your thoughts on the same. The latest news that is generating a lot of
buzz in the open source circuits is that Linux and Mozilla smartphones
may hit the markets this year! So this prompts us to come up with a
volley of questions...'If phones based on Linux and Mozilla OS make
their way in the market, which open source OS you would prefer to switch
on to..and why.?' (Linux, Mozilla, Ubuntu or will you stay with
Android?)..Do you see this a long term threat to Android? What's your
take on the same?
Please let us know!
Regards,
Priyanka

Incorrect question mozilla runs on linux, Ubuntu runs on linux, and android
runs on linux.
Linux runs on a cpu + parts.
Please let us know!

The biggest drawback of android is the absence of a huge number of
applications that are standard in any regular linux distro. Given the
enormous leap in handheld devices processing capability, the need for a VM
that prevents processor saturation is almost passe. Consequently any
regular distro would be preferable to android.

Can't say without using or at least seeing them first. No?

When it comes to phones, more so than desktops or laptops, it will al
depend on manufacturers installing them. The average user or even
power user is unlikely to flash their phone. So, it's going to be a
wait and see. Of course if someone like Ubuntu makes a major push, we
may see some positive outcomes.
