Hi There is a nice report on Linux in today's issue of The Financial Times (http://www.ft.com). This is the UK version of the Wall Street Journal - widely available in the US (printed on orangy colored paper). The link to the Linux report/articles is http://news.ft.com/reports/ftit - although the full text of the articles is available only if you have a subscription. Grab it today at your newstand for much less. The Financial Times is published 6 days a week by Pearson (PSO) who also own half of The Economist. They have a good bunch of columnists with refreshing opinions. BobG
