The Linux Counter.

@Praka, I just referred the Disk fragmentation section of the 'Why linux is better' site. The explanation for the fragmentation problem is quite ambiguous.



1. Surely there will be situations where there will be no "contiguous empty drawers" to store a large file and the OS will be forced to store the file in random locations

2. Is it logical to think that, windows will not store the files in contiguous empty spaces and will always store in random empty places

Out of curiosity what in the world are you talking about? Was this posted in the wrong thread?

For those who dont know where to register,
The Linux counter @ *counter.li.org/
maintains a list of all registered linux users.

And according to it ,
There are 140526 persons registered.
and India currently has 2769 users.

cant agree with this

even 2769 users are still using windows......in the form of Active Window Maximized Window Minimized window etc..
