linux vendor lock-in

One of the things that really bothers me about the popular Linux distributions is the vendor lock-in and the loss of real user choice and freedom. I've got more to say about this so expect to see an article on this topic soon.

That will be interesting. I'm not aware of any big problems in that regard.

It's funny you say this, considering you are using a Mac running OSX or Windows. Anyway I can't wait to read your post...

I don't mean to offend, and I usually enjoy your blog, but teaser posts without actual content are pretty annoying.
