I went there expecting some crude joke and was pleasantly surprised by a
well organized site providing an entry point into the Unix world.  They
divided the territory into the 3 sections of GNU/Linux, BSD and commercial.
The GNU/Linux section starts with PHB respectable bullet points:

    * A Zona Research study found that more than half of large enterprises
plan to increase their use of GNU/Linux.
    * J.S. Wurzler Underwriting Managers' ``hacker insurance'' costs 5-15%
more if Windows is used instead of Unix or GNU/Linux for Internet operation.
    * The Gartner Group is recommending that businesses drop Microsoft IIS
due to IIS's poor security track record.

And then provides links to other studies and a link to linux.org
distributions list.

The commercial section lists Mac OSX first. The BSD section lists
high-profile adopters Yahoo and Saab and directly addresses the
wehavethewayout site - pointing out that it ran BSD.

Good site to get on the track.
