Ahh, spindoctors.  Too bad half his facts are wrong.  He paints Linux
like a red-headed stepchild, an OS not UNIX (I imagine just because it
doesn't carry the UNIX branding).  In fact, Linux has more in common
with Solaris than practically any other flavor of UNIX.

Well, some folks just have this burr in their butt about Linux. 
Sounds like he's another "Anything but Linux" journalist.  (I notice
he never mentioned FreeBSD anywhere).

Ciao,
