What a mindless link and post. Congratulations, she found some FOSS and set it up. This is neither ground breaking nor news. Sorry, but I really feel like I learned absolutely nothing from that post. Anyone who did not know of the names of FOSS programs for these task could easily find better alternatives with a quick Google to boot. (...Or sites like howtoforge and gentoo-wiki).

While I sympathize in part with your sentiments, I believe LWN was never explicitly specified as the web site for uber-geeks. Someone out there may run across this article and get started with free software, all because they had never realized this was possible. Everyone's got to start somewhere.

Or, if you *are* an uber-geek, you may find it a helpful article to show someone less experienced who you know is interested in doing something similar.
