No, the author is a Linux Guru and an icon in the Linux world. He's from
Romania, but you can truly say that he's cosmopolitan. He has always been a
critic of this project, but _DO BEAR IN MIND_ that the guy always rants,
never praises. His reviews concentrate on the negatives, which is good if
you ever want to improve (my Supervisor is like that as well).
It is most fascinating that _even_ in a country where piracy is so prevalent,
Linux remains so desirable. They want to change their ways.
