Didn't hear that no, but I'm guessing it was Jesse Hirsh? He's CBC
radio's goto guy for tech related stuff, and can be counted on to always
mention and support Linux where it is relevant. If Jesse lurks on this
list (as may well be the case) thanks!

If it wasn't Jesse on the radio this morning, then we have 2 Linux
peddlers inside the CBC, which is even better :)
