Status and Trends Linux development in various fields
The development of Linux in the server space
With the growing influence of open source software in the world, Linux server operating system occupy more and more market share in the overall server operating system market structure, it has formed a situation of mass-market applications. And maintained a rapid growth rate. Especially in the key areas of the national government, finance, agriculture, transportation, telecommunications and so on. In addition, taking into account the efforts to support the rapid growth of Linux and relevant national policies, Linux servers will be able to impact a larger server market.
According to authoritative statistics, the current Linux has occupied in the server space 75% market share, at the same time, Linux rapid rise in the server market, has caused great concern in the global IT industry, and strong momentum to become a server operating system in the field of backbone power.
Desktop Linux development in the field of

In addition SUSE, Ubuntu also launched a Linux-based desktop systems, particularly Ubuntu Linux, has accumulated a large community of users. However, from the system's overall functionality, performance point of view, Linux and Windows desktop series, there is still a gap, mainly in terms of system ease of use, system management, hardware and software compatibility, richness and other software.
Embedded Linux development in the field of mobile
Linux's low-cost, powerful customization features and good migration properties, making Linux in embedded systems have been widely used, currently widely used Linux to mobile phones, tablet PCs, routers, TV and video games and other fields. Android is widely used on the mobile device operating system is created on top of the Linux kernel. Currently, Android has become the world's most popular smartphone operating system, according to the latest statistics authorities in 2015, Android operating system's global market share has reached 84.6%

## domestic status of the Linux operating system, the development of
China is currently involved in the development of the Linux operating system in addition to schools, research institutions, major Linux distributions including Red Flag, won the bid to create a better, Xinhua, Turbolinux and so on, both desktop and server versions of two; domestic release are based on the international community evolved version, based on the results of the international community, at the interface customization done some work and did not grasp the core technology, and there is a certain technological gap between the international and the Linux operating system release, the lack of technology accumulation, faced with problems such as lack of Linux development potential
## foreign status of the Linux operating system development
abroad Status Linux operating system development abroad, including major releases redhat, ubuntu, Suse, etc., offer two different versions of the desktop and server. Linux operating system server space more mature, slow development of the desktop, the rapid development of embedded field
