Ernie Ball and Linux -- 2:02 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Sterling Ball, the CEO of Ernie Ball (a well-known maker of guitar strings), talked about their switch to Linux after a visit from the BSA Gestapo. The interview is refreshingly free of jargon or free software rhetoric. It's basically, "We switched and we're very happy." A very nice read indeed. Thanks Linux Today.

Hmmm. I may need to check out some Ernie Ball strings next time I restring my guitar.

J.t.Qbe comments: I read this article early this morning and thought I'd wait for our resident guitar player to post it ;). Overall this is one of the funnest Linux articles I've read in quite a while. It's worth a look to see what Linux can mean to the typical small business--it cuts through the, um, you know, and gets right to the point: no more worries about licensing woes, lower overall cost, and the business is in control. Good stuff.
