ConsultingTimes.com: Peace, Love, and Linux (Ransom Love Answers His Critics) (Aug 20, 2001, 20:42)

LinuxPlanet: Editor's Note: Heroes of the Revolution (Aug 20, 2001, 12:30)
A quietly deleted request to run a petition for hardware support
didn't cause any lost sleep: it was profane, demanding, and
threatening. Months later, though, an unassuming Linux enthusiast
