I read it as a junior writer, knowledge of linux unspecified.
It'd need to be someone experience with linux otherwise the "letters
to the editor" page will be full of people correcting them!
Funny how every PC mag under the sun is jumping on the linux
band wagon these days. I was browsing through "PC Magazine"
I think it was, they mention linux etc etc but then do a big test
of mail servers and they only test M$ ones (the cheapest of which
was $325 for 5 users or something and M$ exchange was $6000 for
25 users I think).
Their little "features" table mentions which programs have unix
versions but they sort of completely neglect to mention that any
of the dozen of so freely available mail server packages on a linux
box will do the job way better than an M$ one and cost nothing.
It's like this linux (open source) thing is a completely different
way of thinking and they kinda don't get the hang of it.
