AMEN. Faux News, CNN, and MSNBC never talk about GNU/Linux-based OSes
as alternatives to Windows or even Mac. I take it back...CNN did talk
about Linux during the "Windows vs Lindows" thing back in 2002.
You know, I don't think CNN or Faux News or MSNBC even gave a mention
about the Dell/Ubuntu thing. "Fair and Balanced" MY ASS.
