A good read to align yourself with what mainstream businesspeople are fed."

    Who cares? This is just reporters and editors conjuring phony contests and trumped up stories. Car magazines have been doing it for years. Ditto the computer press. (I'd include Slashdot, too, but that would demean the other members of the media.)

    And don't be fooled by Linux' harmless-looking penguin mascot, Tux: This stuff is shaking up the balance of power in the computer industry. It poses the biggest threat to Microsoft's hegemony since the Netscape browser in 1995.


    You'd figure they'd heard of MOSAIC... being Businessweek... and doing their research and all...

    Besides Tux is cute.

    And if you say , "Oh its just some geeky thing used by hackers ." Chances are they might ask, "Oh yeah then how come IBM and HP and so many other big guns are supporting it ?"

    Then I'll say, "Because they are trying to gain marketshare against MS by glomming on to a (somewhat) popular product. It has nothing to do with technical merit as both IBM and HP have their own *nix operating systems which have long been superior to Linux."
