Cassidy: Linux devotee tries to spread the word
Larry Cafiero is sitting in his cluttered office in the Santa Cruz Mountains looking nothing like a revolutionary.
Friendly bearded face. Casual blue jeans. Comfy work shirt with the little penguin logo.
Yeah, penguin logo. See, Cafiero is a Linux guy. Maybe you know one — or a Linux woman. Maybe you know that to love Linux is to live Linux — that you don't just use free and open-source software, you embrace it and evangelize it. Some more than others.
For his part, Cafiero is leading a revolution in the redwood-ringed town of Felton. He's been inspired by others around the country and with them he's dubbed the effort "Lindependence 2008,'' a scheme hatched to turn Felton into an all-Linux enclave.

re: Cassidy
Um no, it's just a OS. This concept, and the fantasy articles like this one spread, is why Linux has a single digit market share. Most people just "use" computers - they don't want to join a cult.
