I picked up this opinion piece via a feed, and I'm really not amazed that Linux folks would stoop to the same bizarre propaganda that they accuse Microsoft of. But hey, what's new?
Let's look at each entry individually, and see where things break down. Note that although the article is titled "Reasons not to use Linux", it's actually a pro-Linux article being facetious. But we'll examine each of the five points:

Wow, what a weekend!
Saturday morning, I put the finishing touches on my custom LAMPPIX boot CD. My goal - Create a CD that I could boot to demonstrate the might and power of WordPress 1.6 (not yet released, still in alpha) to the Philly WordPress Meetup group. I dumped WordPress 1.5.1.3, 1.5.2, 1.6, and 1.6-Owen onto the ISO, burnt it, started it up once to see it boot, and fled for the city.
I started out way early, and had time to stop at the Apple store in King of Prussia before heading on into the city. I have to admit that the Apple store is pretty alluring. I left without buying anything, though. (More on that topic in a follow-up post.) Even with the stopover (and the $2.75/gal for gas!) I got to Fergie's way early, and they were locked up. I wandered around the block a bit and noticed that there are quite a few cool places nearby to Fergie's. You could make a really full day in the city and fit the meetup in the middle.
But enough about the wonderment of the city and the delicious jerked pork sandwich I had for lunch (Aw, yeah), and let's talk about the meetup.
I’m not sure why cats sitting in sinks are interesting, but there they are.
