Interesting Read

[Jerry McBride]

It's a nice article... but old news to those that are "in the know". 

But I gotta ask, he refers to "intel making chips for linux"... What chips? I
think he either made a publishing error and just misunderstood the facts.

He also paints most, if not all, linux enthusiasts as being beat-nick like,
dirty, etc. I take exception to that. I do my part for linux everyday I'm alive.
I've handed out hundreds if not thousands of copies of linux to anyone and every
one I meet through out my day and I have never met anyone that even closely
resembles his description. :') I'm saying this, tongue in cheak...

What I liked most about the article is the usage of honest facts... ie
$100 million saved over 5 years... $250,000.00 to a 4000.00 box, etc...
I wish there were more hooks in the article so I could do a little following up
on what was written.

However, a very nice read, one that I've printed and included in my linux
handout. It'll warm the cockles of any linux beat-nick out here...

Thanks for the URL.
