  1. This morning I was reading (as you do) the motion SCO filed in Utah against IBM (if this means
    nothing to you, don't worry). I found the following interesting snippet in teh supporting
    statements bit:

    "Prior to IBM's involvement, Linux was the software equivalent of a bicycle. UNIX was the software
    equivalent of a luxury car."

    So there you have it - before IBM stuck its oar in linux was efficient, cheap, reliable and easy to
    use, unlike nasty, bloated, polluting, overly complex Unix.

    As they use a Darth Maul style logo (well, a devil, actually), does that make FreeBSD a recumbent?
