Silicon.Com does Linux week

Posted by Hemos on from the good-coverage dept.

A number of people have submitted the Silicon.Com Linux week. They're doing an excellent coverage, with RealPlayer interviews with ESR, and other folks as well. This is a great story for your PHBs to look at-answering the perennial question of whether Linux is ready for wide-spread use.

    Did anyone else receive this bit of spam from (I presume) Silicon.com?

    Dear Fred,

    Have you seen this story on an exclusive Silicon.com poll? It says that Linux is ready for corporate use - you can see the full thing at
    http://www.silicon.com/linuxspecial

    The survey, which marks the start of Silicon's week-long Linux Special, found that 71 per cent of viewers believe Linux is ready for business, while only 25 per cent disagreed.

    There's a whole Linux Special running this week on the site (http://www.silicon.com/linuxspecial) - exclusive interviews ... etc., etc.

    Gee, "Vanessa". Sorry. I'd say that all your credibility was shot by this bit of spam.

  2. List of URLs for the ESR interview by davie · · Score: 2

    Here are the URLs for the silicon.com interview with ESR, painstakingly extracted from the HTML. It's only 4:55 long, just a telephone interview, no video of ESR.

    OMG the irony of an interview with RMS in realplayer format is just killing me... I hope others see the humour as much as I do... :)
