Well, this isn’t news, it has nothing to do with a free republic, and it is nothing really more than you treating FR as your personal tech blog.
There are many of us on FR that appreciate the various Linux posts from ShadowAce. I know I always try to read them. This is from someone who works 50/50 on Linux and Windows programming.
I say this with all due respect, if Linux bothers you that much then just don't browse the threads. There are stories that I never click on for pretty much the same reason. Have a good day.
Seems that there is a fair amount of interest. This one post has 40 posters so far. If you don't care about the threads, you don't have to read them.
