02/11/2005 Archived Entry: "Linux related spam?"

A sign of the changing times: I just received my first junk email advertising a Linux product. I'm used to daily offers of Windows or Office XP at dubious prices, but Linux IT management software? And it's honest-to-goodness spam -- it came to one of my public email addresses, not to the email address I use to subscribe to Linux newsletters. Sorry guys, but that was a marketing blunder. As a matter of policy, I never give business to anyone who advertises with unsolicited commercial email.

But wow, the market for Linux must really be growing.     —brad
