Just to say, last night I couldn't sleep for various reasons, so i flick on my tv and see whats on, end up on BBC News24's business report program. It happened to be reporting on Microsoft allowing Linux to be run via virtualisation, all seemed OK but then the news ticker decided to put a small amount of text at the bottom for people just turning on. They kept putting these texts at the bottom of the screen and they kept spelling Linux, lynux. This leads me to believe that the BBC (news team at least) don't report on floss because they have absolutely no knowledge of it what so ever, the reporting team seemed to struggle with the term "open source" as well, asking their local magazine expert "so who gets the money?".
perhaps what is really needed is education, something for a London based LUG maybe?
