[edlug] Linux in the Financial Times

["Gordon Guthrie" <gordon_guthrie@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

There I was standing on the platform this morning with all the other 
commuters. (Metaphorical) bowler hat on my head, (metaphorical) umbrella 
under my arm. Imagine my surprise as I get out the Pink 'Un to find a 
picture of Richard 'Rick' Stallman at the top of the front page with the 
strap 'Richard Stallman's Linux' pointing up the main op-ed article on 
Linux:

I turn to Comment & Analysis to see a picture of the mighty Swedoman, Linus 
'Linus' Torvald, superimposed on a giant picture of the bard of MIT like 
something out of a penguin Nuremberg.

Quite a good article which takes an interesting line that Linux is being 
driven into big companies by Cots hardware, just like Windows (the bad twin, 
ooh-er). The main stuff under threat is existing specialist tin.
