    Don't get me wrong... but "incredible!"?

    I think that the "rah rah" club for Linux needs to get over their "underdog" status.

    Linux might not be Windows (concerning market saturation), but it's not a joke, or a temporary thing. Yeah, I'm jaded and cynical for not being excited when I hear that the Girl Scouts used Linux to host their cookie sales website, but let's get real... Linux is more than good enough for use in business production and nobody should be surprised when anyone in the mainstream figures this out.

    You want me to get excited about someone using Linux? Get Asia Carrera to host her website with Linux...

    Otherwise let's get over the "Gee willikers Mr. Peabody, someone else is a nerd too!" response and get to the "It's about damn time these idiots saw a good thing for what it is!" response.

    (Sorry if I sound offensive nathana, it's cool and all, but sheesh)

    I wonder how KDE fans who like Star Wars will respond to the screenshots which indicate that ILM prefers GNOME!

    ;o)
