A Babe in Tuxland

Posted by michael on from the baby's-first-apt-get-dist-upgrade dept.

Joe Barr writes "This is the kind of story that WagEd and MS would love to see in one of their astroturf campaigns. But this story is real grassroots, with a real Sysadmin writing it and a real granddaughter as the babe using Linux. A sweet tale, with tips on Linux for kids." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.

    Uh...anyone see a double-standard?
    Microsoft posting this kind of story and passing it off as real news = "astroturfing."

    What I see is someone who doesn't know what "astroturfing" means. /. is not attempting to hide the source of the article.
