*rofl* now that wasn't rigged or nothing ... I could see us second to
MySQL, or third to Oracle/Informix, depending on how it was evaluated, but
fourth to all three?

choice awards. I wanna know what was in first, second and third!
Anyone know?

Hey, look at the headline:

Linux Magazine's Editor's Choice Awards
by The Editors of Linux Magazine

The Linux market is exploding with all kinds of
great new (and old) products. We decided it was
time to round up our editors and pick our
favorites. Here are the results.

(From www.linux-mag.com)

Does that sound like any comparision was done? Not to me. To
me it sounds more that The Editors of Linux Magazine just
told what tools they prefer for themself.

True ... seems kind of a stupid way to award something though ... like,
based on what merits? *shrug* (<- rhetorical question there, eh? *grin*)

To me, the most incredible thing is that they put Oracle
after MySQL! the choice they did is tough to us, but it
must have brought hell to Oracle evangelists lives!
