Now that the new voting system is in place, we can start running fun reports to find out what the readers here think of the stories that are posted. This "Hall of Fame" report presents a somewhat accurate view of what the Linux community thinks about various news sources, writers and topics.

Soon I will make the Hall of Fame a live application that can be refreshed, but for the sake of my little Opteron server, I will only include the most updated static version here in this story.

Once I have optimized the script, I will post the link to it. Enjoy!

Hall of Fame
