| I originally intended this article to explore how some interesting and
| important content continues to be hidden as the volume of content overall
| continues to grow. I got the idea when I noticed something funny about an
| interesting article on Slashdot, “Advocating Linux/OSS to Management.” The
| post hit the Web on August 5, and comments were locked out about three days
| later, after a total of 466 comments were posted.
|
| The body of the original post poses the question:
|
| "I'm the Senior Developer at a fairly large agency, we're currently a 100%
| LAMP shop, but I've heard a reliable report through the grapevine that the
| management a few levels above our office wants to standardize our region on
| Microsoft .NET. As I'm sure most of you can appreciate, to do such a thing
| would be... counterproductive, and I could really do with a hand conveying
| this to a manager whose only real knowledge of Linux is, ‘If it's so good,
| why would you give it away for free?’"

Top 5 Linux Myths

| The sheer ignorance regarding casual Linux users astounds me to no end. While
| I'm not interested in pointing fingers, there is a lot of misinformation
| about the Linux community, and we will help to dispel some of these myths,
| once and for all.

| 1. Linux Users Are Cheap. Ah, this is one of my favorites. It seems that
| Linux users have long since been seen as cheap, despite the fact that so many
| of them in the States earn up to six figures. First, define cheap? Are we
| cheap because we choose not to buy brand new everything with every release of
| our selected OS?
