although you won't find gigabit or generally even 100mbit connections in dorms, in large research schools (in my case columbia) it isn't exactly rare anymore to see a gigabit campus backbone with various high-speed (>=100mbit) spurs off of it. so now how long till i get a gigabit line running through my home town?:)
So there are a few inaccuracies... You all of course realize that if you bash everyone who decides to post a serious article on Linux because there are a few inaccuracies (especially if you're doing this to a knowledgeable sysadmin who has some connections to Linux/Slashdot) you're very soon going to wind up with no one willing to write anything for fear of having their mailbox flamed. Spend you energy pointing out problems, not just bashing the guy outright...
