[TriLUG] Linux is not ready for the Enterprise?

[Chris Merrill]

Maybe I'm missing something...I don't understand the sarcasm
in the quoted reply.  I read the 1st article -- it seemed like
a very useful and objective evaluation of the state of Linux
in the Enterprise.  Even favorable.  I certainly did not come
away from the article with a "Linux is not ready for the
Enterprise" feeling.  What am I missing?
