A co-worker forwarded the first URL to me. When I took a look at it, Forbes has "special report" series going on "The Cult of Linux." At first, the "cult" reference made me wonder, but the articles, short though they may be, seem to have been by people that either have a clue, or actually do research. One of them even _prefers_ the PINE email client! So, take these for what they are, but the fact that a company like Forbes has 8 current (and 5 older) articles on Linux is significant, in and of itself.
