"In terms of license shipments, Linux server operating system shipments
in 2001 were flat compared to the previous year, while licenses for the
client version of the operating system were up by almost 50%. These
figures appear to put a damper on analyst assumptions that the server
market is Linux's biggest opportunity to break the Microsoft and Unix
enterprise operating system hegemony. "

License shipments? "clients version of the OS"?
Well, I'm just happy they didn't question the 'Linux company' 401k
plan... Sheesh.
