I'm getting the same thing as TA. It happens whether I'm logged in or not.

Thanks techiem2.

I will give it some time, but if no one can access the article and we cannot find a link that works, I will pull the article from the newswire.

Try this:

http://www.siliconvalley.com/ci_10470746

This link seems to always work. If not, you can go to http://www.siliconvalley.com and click on the link on the left stating "Cassidy: Linux devotee tries to spread the word"

[Although I just tried the link on the LXer.com front page a couple of minutes ago and it worked.]

That works, thanks Larry.

Good article, I hope many other communities/people use this as a jumping off point. The Felton effort should help energize all of us.

The links appear to be intermittent. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. When they don't, I get a DNS page from OpenDNS (who I have set as my DNS provider) instead. I'd guess there's an intermittent DNS problem with siliconvalley.com.

Just changed 'check=1' to 'check=0' in the link because it didn't work for me. Now it does, and I hope it does for everybody else.

Reposted it to a later 'time/date' so people for whom it failed can try to read it again.
