"Journalists who know Linux and free software systems? There aren't any, not in the mainstream media, and there may never be any, because of the nature of commercial publishing. Commercial publishers, by the nature of the very game, have to chase markets, and Linux is a technology, not a market. On the other hand, there's journalistic ethics. That means printing stuff that no one paid you to write, but that you think represents the closest thing to "the truth" that can be discovered on deadline with minimal expense," says Henry Kingman.

In what unkind individuals might term one of the great u-turns of our time, an open source approach to PKI currently looks very close to being adopted for the second round of PKI interoperability trials, to be conducted by the UK Communications-Electronics Security Group [CESG] later this year.

"Every so often I encounter someone who is using Linux but who hasn't taken part in any of the mailing lists. These groups are missing a lot and they're denying other users a lot. So, if you're new to Linux, or if you've been using it awhile but haven't found out that it's more than just an operating system and applications, consider this to be both advice and an invitation: Look around at the various mailing lists, then join as many as your mail-reading time can handle and participate in the community.
