Hardening Linux

Reason #1 that people who use real OS's laugh at Linux. Followed by reason #2, copy and paste beyond basic text between applications.
I just counted 6 of the stories on the front page of slashdot.org frontpage include linux (out of 20 total stories). This is 30%. While I have nothing against linux or the people that use it (just the people that try to force it upon others), it's like the second life stories: I just don't care. Sometimes a unrelated story shows up under the category linux so I don't unfilter it, but it does seem like there is Linux spreading agenda going on here. Just observations made by a casual observer. The purpose of this post is to see the reasoning behind so many linux fluff stories making front page (because most of them should stay on the linux section only).

This article and the people commenting in it, myself excluded, are possibly the most retarded and unqualified people to comment on a Linux / general computing story ever.
