Hi all!

Just picked up the August issue of Wired to get a look at this article on
Linux that everyone is talking about.  I can see why too!  It's a
fantastically positive rap.  The author has interviewed an amazing range of
people.  He even asked the Windows product manager at Microsoft whether
they were worried by the Linux threat!  (Guess what he said?)  Here are
some quotes from the article:

	'Linux vendors say that most of the top companies in the US have bought
	the OS---but that few will readily admit to running their
	multimillion-dollar corporations on code put together by a band of
	software idealists.'

	'This two-track development process has made Linux probably more
	advanced and yet more stable than any other version of Unix today.'

	'Linux is now entering an era of pure development... this is where the
	huge number of developers and testers will give an incredible edge to
	Linux over any other operating system---NT included.'

	'Staying on top may prove increasingly difficult for Microsoft...  The
	latest version of Linux... offers... networking more advanced than that
	of any other operating system.'

There's also some interesting info on Linus himself (including what
Transmeta, the extremely secretive company he now works for, actually
does).  

Expect such a positive article in such a popular magazine to make a big
impact.  This is well worth picking up!
