+      <p>For those who missed the 
+      <a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/18/2036220&tid=109&tid=106">Slashdot article</a>, Samba Team member John H. Terpstra has
+      written a series of articles for <a href="http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/">searchopensource.com</a> on obstacles to the adoption of Linux
+      on the desktop.  John offers a real life example to lead into his
+      thoughts on the subject, which makes for some compelling reading.
+
+      <blockquote>So Linux desktop computers cost more than Microsoft Windows 
+      PCs do, and it's hard to find devices and drivers for Linux. Is that 
+      such a big deal? Well, in this story of just two Linux PC buyers, such 
+      difficulties stopped one from using Linux and the other only succeeded 
+      by being very persistent. Multiply that by millions of PC users, and 
+      you have a big deal.</blockquote>
