Microsoft To Publish Linux

[Ben Webb]

I generally try to *not* be this guy, but I can't resist this one.

>(current OS stock, 6 MS OS'es; 15 Linux's, 
>1 Free BSD - 1 Machine with NT for
>wifey and work, 2 Linux, 1 FreeBSD) 

So are these installed machines? If so, are there really 2 FreeBSD machines or is it one?  Is it 15 
or 17 Linux boxes? Is it 6 or 7 MS machines?  I'm guessing you meant that you meant that you have 
liscences for 6 MS OS's, 15 Linux's (oh wait, that doesn't make sense... are these different 
distrobutions?) and one for FreeBSD.  I would have to guess that you meant that you have installed 
NT on one machine, Linux on two machines, and FreeBSD on one machine.

Where is this copy of Win98 installed?  Oh, wait, you can't be right here because Win98 doesn't 
support NTFS. 

Sorry, I generally try not to be like that, but I just couldn't let this slide.  

As an aside, and I hope that Forrest reads this, IBM is (or has?) released a Notes Client for 
Linux, under the LGPL no less.  I don't have a link handy, but It's part of a /. story about IBM's 
new WDE (that's weblication development environment).

Cheers
