The column is also titled something like "Linux : should be called underware". Underware what? Hanes? Fruit of the loom? : BVD? How insulting! : What do you think of this? I actually wrote Mr. Petreley after reading the article to point out some of his "misconceptions." Graciously, he returned my e-mail and told me not to take his "underware" term too seriously. I get the feeling that the follow up article may shed a kinder light on Linux. We should probably wait for his next article before we spam him.
