Outsider No More: Linux Critical In Many Data Centers (ChannelWeb)

Perhaps it is simply that the journalist who wrote this either:

a) Has spent so much time on corporate 'fact finding' conferences in Fiji, that they have only
now had one of their friends alert them to what has been going on with this new-fangled Linux
thing; or

b) This is a bit like the 'a little bit of red wine has been proven to reduce the risk [insert
illness here]' story which is circulated once a year in the media. That is, not much to write
about for this issue, so they just recycle one of the stories with a few words changed.


Disclaimer: I consume red wine whenever it is offered and got out of this Linux thing when I
discovered FreeBSD about 10 years ago. Hopefully journalists will one day be even educated
enough to understand the difference between GNU, Linux, kernels, operating systems, and the
whole Unix environment.
