| Dell offers more systems preinstalled with Ubuntu 8.04 |

| BBC hack moans about Linux |

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7594249.stm
It's Saturday afternoon and I should be lying on the sofa sipping sweet tea and watching Football Focus.

Last month Torvalds stated in an online posting that "one reason I refuse to bother with the whole security circus is that I think it glorifies -- and thus encourages -- the wrong behavior.
