The Geek Who Cried FUD
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, early one morning as the geek was
| getting ready to log off and head to bed, he
| stumbled across a site where a local school
| council member had written about getting
| school children off of the "unstable,
| unsupported, unworkable and potentially
| illegal" GNU/Linux systems that had been
| deployed a year earlier in school computer
| labs. On further investigation the bleary-
| eyed geek found that neither students nor
| teachers had complained about the computers.
| This was just pure anti-open source FUD.
