At worst, the Linux advocate could be accused of being a little obsolete in his information, but I saw nothing that was outright inflammatory enough to warrant an impassioned correction. If I responded to every low-grade Linux puff-piece touting some semi-dubious feature of Linux over BSD, I'd be writing letters all day! :-) If something looks truly egregious then I *always* send a letter. This didn't push my meter into the red zone, so I'm going to ignore it. Jordan
