I also use this list as an information source. While not in a commercial sense, (since I became a full-time teacher), I still have to continually put up arguments as to why our Linux Lab should be allowed access to the college network. The general hysteria seems to be that if we use Linux on the state-wide net, we may corrupt something (they haven't yet come up with a definition of 'something'). When I tell them that the mail server for the state runs on Solaris, all I get is a blank look! When this sort of FUD is perpetuated, it can only do all of us some(?) harm. Real decision-making people in my workplace use sources like that to make decisions that affect me and my students. I say; Thanks for the 'heads-up', at least I now know what they are talking about, and have some positive things to reply with! Last time I looked, this list wasn't called the 'suse-e-trouble-shooting-only-or-you-get-horsewhipped' list.
