You're doing fine. The Linux adoption wiki posts worldwide growth information. I've found, like PCAuthority in Australia, more netbooks in use around the Pacific Rim because they are more adaptable to mobile data.

I seldom go anywhere without researching the site to help me identify and appreciate the location. Maps and guides and schedules are downloaded to the netbook for help. The same for pictures from cameras and phones.

That's why long battery life from an efficient OS plus ethical use of a netbook around others is important to me.
