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. On Sun, 23 Feb 2003 15:09:50 +0800 "M.W.
