The Economist on The Rise of Linux

nickco3 writes "The Economist is telling the business world that Linux is a worthy adversay to Windows and Unix. It is free, runs on almost any hardware, and generally more secure than Windows As result it is dividing the industry into winners that offer Linux (e.g. IBM and HP), and losers that don't, (e.g. Microsoft). Sun is probably doomed."

Scratchbuilders Unite

[gryllotalpa]

It' really great when the last of the anglo-imperialist papers (with the downed spanish armada, the last Bush posse are now going to support the commie - system internationale, etc, liberte equalite et fraternity) to support the anti-capitalist cancer we know of as Linux.

In the past aeroplane, car and railroad modellers and amateur astronomers lamented the fact they were overtaken by commercial and industrial firms.

Now they can do something at home like thought experiments with their PC's, of course, without ever so much getting boggled in MFC black or what-next? packgages they can't get into or even buy and play with anymore.

All they or we have to do is unite, ie, buy only open or open-source products and put the work back into our free imagination and hands.
