“Try as they might, the forces of computing evil will never
succeed with any campaign to denigrate Linux based on the lateness

download activity not seen since the launch of Playboy.com.”

say this will be the release that will propel Linux onto the PC
desktop and grab a large slice of market share from Windows.”
