There was an article was in eWeek on October 14. It talked about linux
renewing its bid for the desktop and Steve O'Brien is the first person
they talked about. Steve is the Director of IT operations for Jefferson
County. It talked about how he is moving the county to linux (probably a
major reason why the Red Hat tour stopped there).
