Forbes is running a series of articles called The New Barbarians. It seems that Daniel Lyons has finally figured out that commodity hardware and free software might offer some value. "Linux today has less than 2% market share on the desktop. That's because with past versions of Linux only hackers could get Linux installed and running right. But a new batch of easier-to-use versions is putting Linux within reach of regular folks." There is also a rather confused article about the GPLv3 process.
