Rainer,

Many thanks for your kind thoughts!

This year, I agreed to address a new audience for Linux Journal -
government CIO's. So I write to acquaint them with possibilities.

I wrote the performance articles to say to the government people, "Linux
has a good desktop." But when trolls make comments that detract from the
credibility of the articles, I have to stop.

We have a complete chapter dedicated to optimizing Ubuntu in the
upcoming book. So, I'm sure you will see more, especially on this list.

I wish you all the best in your academic work.
