Questionable. And Mr. Woods probably doesn't care about Linux, or
mainframes, as long as the money keeps rolling in.
Slashdot is a working example of Sturgeon's Law ("90% of everything is

our own, Reed Mullen, gets yet another 15 minutes of fame in that piece.
Definitely no such thing as bad publicity. :-)
