But you aren't on the NYSE[1], nor AFAIK are you running a great Linux
distro that somehow only pulls something around ~10% of Linux users
(including Redhat 8 and 9 IIRC) according to the last few surveys.

If you look on the social sites it is Ubuntu and Shuttleworth all over
the place.  Just sayin' that article could just've easily been with, or
included, the Fedora PR Goto-guy, without becoming a Media-whore.
