Regarding Linux Comparison

There is a premium paid ad frequently seen in Google Adsense banners promoting "Get The Facts" on Windows vs. Linux, with claims of being an "Independent Analysis".

It is classified by many as FUD, used to mass-target pages with "Linux" in them.

Get the REAL facts on this not-so-very independent and factually slanted media press from:

Seattle P-I
eWeek
open source
NetworkWorld
Novell
Errata

Don't cripple
software innovation

NO Software Patents!
 

Get the facts,
not the FUD

Boycott SCO!
 

Hacking today for a
better tomorrow

To the multitude big and small who have helped to advance and promote Linux in so many ways, we thank you!
