I'll just reregister my opinion that while open source is a great thing,
it's not what we're selling here. We've mentioned that LyX (and latex) are
open source. Linux et al. are doing just fine in the press and don't need
our PR help. "LyX runs on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and most proprietary UNIX
systems." Or even, "LyX runs on most UNIX platforms." (Is it really "most"?
Do we know of a UNIX platform it *doesn't* run on?
