2009's Five Most Popular and Important Linux Stories (ComputerWorld)

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols lists his most popular and favorite Linux stories of 2009. "Before jumping into this, let me say that's what popular isn't the same thing as what's important. So, I'm giving you a twofer list. The first is the most popular of my stories, and then there are the stories, which I think are the most important for Linux's future."

Why on earth should LWN reference someone like 'Cyber Cynic' !?

Yes, there are plenty of sites with semi-incompetent writers - the reason
people are willing to pay for LWN is that it is not one of those. There was
also the "15 game-changing Linux moments of the decade" story recently.

Please, rather nothing on LWN than references to these sort of "news."

I completely agree.

After getting used to great writers like Jon, Jake, Valerie, Ulrich, .. etc, "news" like this ComputerWorld article looks like sheer idiot-ism from this 'Cyber Cynic', where the article is like a random group of links to articles from the _same_ author.
