One quotation:

  "That appreciation is far from confined to Europe.
  Wednesday night, some 60 members of the Silicon
  Valley Linux Users Group trooped down to the local
  Fry's computer store to protest the midnight 
  release of Windows 98.  The Linux protesters
  distributed 500 free Linux CDs and, according to
  their own report, mightily irritated the Fry's
  manager, who summoned the police in an effort to
  be rid of them.

  Direct action in the streets!  You won't find that
  kind of esprit de corps among Windows 95 users.
  When that passion is combined with the technical
  excellence that is at the heart of Linux, suddenly
  the goals of Linux's advocates don't seem that
  far-fetched."

SVLUG's own Larry Augustin once again plays a distinguished and
effective role in the article.  Go, Larry!

There is a related on-line discussion forum reachable from that
site.  SVLUGgers might look in on it.


I've also posted quite a few salvos into ZDnet's "AnchorDesk"
discussion forum, in the wake of Jesse Berst's latest Linux
editorial.  Look for the thread called "How Linux Could Kill 
Windows NT" (not to be confused with the selected "Talk Back" 
readers' comments listed below the original editorial).  It's 
quite entertaining.  http://www.zdnet.com/cc/forumcat.html, and 
then pick "Anchor Desk - Jesse Berst's Alerts".
