Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Just wanted to give you an update on the Tux500 project. We've been pretty
>> busy this week... although sometimes it feels like we're getting stuck in
>> the mud. The biggest challenge we're facing is getting the word out. Even
>> though the Linux community is estimated at 20 million worldwide, and 6-7
>> million in the US, we've only had a little over 30,000 unique visitors to
>> the site.
>>
>> OSWeekly.com did an interview with myself, Ken, and Ted, and even though
>> it's the main story on their site, it isn't being run by any of the biggies
>> who would normally pickup this kind of story (/., Digg, etc.) I guess this
>> is going to have to be a completely grass-roots effort. I don't mind that,
>> in fact, it's going to make things even sweeter when we finally reach that
>> critical mass!
>>
>> I met with our driver yesterday... he's an extremely nice guy, with some
>> really interesting stories to tell. He was telling me how he was a rookie
>> at the Indy 500, and some of the other rookies that year were Nigel
>> Mansell, Nelson Piquet, and Robbie Gordon... Stephan outqualified them
>> despite having never raced an oval course! I've put the interview up on
>> Tux500.com so that everyone in the community can get to know him.
>>
>> Thanks for your support everyone! We're going to pull this thing off...

> Who said that Linux had driver issues? ;-)
