   I saw that last night.  They simply should remove the links if they aren't   
   going to support Linux.  I'm just now wondering if Torvalds did the same thing   
   to AVG (and maybe some others) he did to a certain video card manufacturer.

   I'm on the Internet a lot, so if anything pops up for Linux, I'll post it here.
