I like this little tidbit - curtesy of the BBC dept. of factual information.

  Linux facts
Worth about $280m by 2006
Cheaper and more secure than Microsoft software
Source code is open for others to look and change
IBM is one of its biggest fans
 


I hope you saw that M$ lovers of the world. The largest NEWS gathering service in the world states that Linux is cheaper and more secure than Microsoft SOFTWARE (not just the OS then).
