Toby,

It will take a while for main stream media to 'discover' Linux.

However the murder conviction of Hans Reiser who wrote ReiserFS (the 
Linux File System) might be more up their street. Question is, will Hans 
be able to work on his FS4 from his prison cell? Also do you want your 
file system written by a convicted murderer? If we get fussy about not 
employing murderers then who knows where that could lead....

Another German Linux developer, Brain Slayer of www.dd-wrt.com but not 
convicted of murder so he is OK by me :-)

Wayland.
