here is an article for getting grants from the government but you need windows to access it.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 00942.html

I have problems with a lot of the fud figures that are thrown out in that article.

there is no way to count the linux installations - they aren't sold with every computer - plus looks like their audience uses macs. I bet linux is installed more that macs at the educational institutes.

I wonder how much billies dad's law firm paid to get that contract to make that site.

I am in a rotten mood today and its not getting any better

too bad the only states willing to stand up against such BS are super liberal states like massachusetts.

The ironic thing is that the DoD seems to see some viability in Linux. This was sent to our local LUG mailing list yesterday. (thanks, Gary Richardson).
