Well son of a gun.
... though a headline of "Linux visionary ... murder ..." is a bit of a gratuitous swipe at Linux.
It's not like Linux has much to do one way or the other with Hans Reiser's downfall, other than that's what he happened to work on.

Do you honestly believe if Bill Gates was convicted of murder that the word Microsoft wouldn’t be included in an article describing same?
To: ThePythonicCow
It doesn’t seem like a gratuitous swipe to me. When a person already slightly publicly known does something unrelated, it’s not uncalled-for to note that when describing them for the first time in the article. If it were Bill Gates, it would probably be “Microsoft founder Bill Gates convicted of murder”...or maybe not; in his case he’s SO well known that no explanation might be thought necessary.

Maybe it’s time for someone to start a “Thug Linux” distribution.
[Little sardonic humor there.]
