Strictly speaking the file still has not moved.  The data bits are still on the same part of the disk where they were in the first place originally.  The file specification ( the-directory-path plus the filename) that you use to talk about the file is different so that it appears to have moved , whereas it has not in actuality.

In early versions of Unix , the users were not allowed to use mv to move a file from one disk partition to another , you could only copy it ny using the  cp(1) command.  Linux allows you to use the mv command to move a file anyplace.  Normally , mv leaves the data in place and just changes the file name or the directory where the name is placed.  But when the file is moved across the disk partitions ( for example form /usr to /home in a lot of Linux systems) , the data is copied to the new disk partition, the new name is put in place.  In that partition’s directory structure, and the name and file data are removed from the old disk partition.

On top of this the United Linux participants were to include supplementary media which would of provided easy opportunities which would allow easy configuration and even branding of the distributions look feel install applications and value added services.  The obvious point in this was – apart from the branding is that each of partners could produce task or region or regions specific offerings that still adhered to the United Linux overall specifications and specs .

These individual distros and their partners hoped that other distros of Linux would be marked under their respective brands, but would be powered by a consistent United Linux which mean that the user could be confident that the user would be published with a United Linux and thus a measure of consistency and user functionally would easily exist across a customer and user base – for the first time in the Linux unix user base and communities.

Thus the UI ( United Linux) brand would thus of reduced the amount of mainstream Linux distros to the well managed group of five (5) – that at the time being Red Hat, Mandrake , United ,Debian and Slackware. The bets were on that time that in the enterprise sector tht Re Hat and United Linux would come to dominate. Well at the time those were the predictions of the Linux market share dominant distros.

In June 2002 four of the largest Linux distribution vendors joined forces to break down what they had identified as the main barriers to the widespread adoption of Linux in an enterprise- Caldera , SuSE, Conectiva and TurboLinux announced that they would collaborate on a common Linux fore to create the next generation of a Linux Distribution ( distro) to make deploying and supporting software easier and resolve the common problem of binary incompatibility between Linux distributions.

desktop linux users doubled

Some great news from desktop linux.com! They recently revealed the desktop survey results. The facts are there, the number of desktop linux users has doubled the last year!

And what is the desktop linux users distribution of choice? The Ubuntu family (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Edubuntu) leads on, and SuSe is the second runner up.

The survey shows us that more and more people are trying out a GNU/Linux distro, more and more people are getting aware that they can choose their OS. Up until Dell started to cooperate with Ubuntu, we had to accept that a PC you ordered came with a MS OS install (unless you bought parts and built your own pc).
