Linux in Canada

Posted by michael on from the northern-lights dept.

Flxstr writes "Lots of Linux articles in Canada's national newspaper today, starting with Calgary switching from SUN Unix to Red Hat Linux. Another article discusses whether Linux will become a target for viruses as its popularity grows. This article mentions how Linux costs less, so more firms are becoming interested. Finally, an article discusses how pushes by major vendors such as IBM, HP, and others is speeding acceptance of Linux over other alternatives. Altogether, some good articles for any CIO's desk."

    I think that the Canucks might have something to do with that too.

    That Tux logo on this story really pisses me off. Taco probably thought it was cute, or something.

    Suits certainy USE and WILL USE Linux, but that does not mean that LINUX ITSELF would wear a suit!

    So please, let Tux lose the suit! It really makes him look like a dweeb, and it is unbecoming.

    And the cellphone. Cellphonse USED to be a symbol of business, but now even my maid carries a cellphone, and you're as likely to see a soccer mom yammering on a cell phone as a bidness man.
