One reason it popular in those areas is that it is open source, which also means that it is free. Although those people using it love it; they would also agree that it isn't ready for your typical home user. I looked at installing it on my laptop and <a href="http://www.drozmonkey.com/2006/07/23/french-fries-and-tux-troubles/">evalutating it for 30 days</a>, but that didn't go so well. I do have a <a href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html">Knoppix Live CD</a> in my computer support "toolbox" which is basically a CD that you can boot a computer from and it runs Linux off of the CD without installing it. That is useful if there is a serious problem with the installed operating system and you need to rescue files from it. That is also a good way to test drive Linux before you "buy" it.
