Welcome back, Ghost. I hope you liked that essay, which made the rounds
several days ago.
In case you shied away from news or even found yourself occupied with some
_real work_ *smile*, let me assure you that /plenty/ of wonderful things are
showering GNU/Linux on a daily basis. The latest major milsetone is Java to
be Open Sources (officially states by Schwartz) and its sidling with Linux
(Ubuntu in particular).
Best wishes,
Roy
