The problem is, at least according to that article, he's saying "The US military uses Linux, and they are in Iraq, therefore I can't use Linux." There's no logic to that statement - Linux is free for everyone to use, so there is no way to control it. Like a comment on Slashdot said, all the major vehicle companies also make parts for the military; does that mean he's going to stop driving his car? (Actually, that argument would make more sense than his Linux one, but ah well.) In any case, there may be more we're not seeing here - it could be that members of his user's group are supporting the military's use of Linux, and he has a problem with that, so he doesn't want to head the group anymore. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
