Blogger and Linux advocate Robert Pogson reports via one of his many charts that the usage rate for Linux in Finland didn't drop below 2.5 percent any time during the month of April.

When folks went to (work|school), the numbers jumped to over 10 percent (with the last reading shown being 16 percent, which rivals the numbers seen in Uruguay).

Those of you who have griped that you had to buy an approved calculating device because you (aren't|weren't) allowed to use your computers on exams should note the customized spin of Linux that the school system in Finland has for exams.

    The 16 percent count was a bit unusual but numbers over 10 percent have been repeated since early April.
