Your link points to an article about Saudi women
But I believe the article you want to link to may have already been posted.
Recommended Resources: Ubuntu Linux Resources
what does Ubuntu have to do with Floss? I Floss every day I promise.
It's here:

It is not unusual for Ubuntu to appear on the BBC news website, I've seen it a few times. The key thing here is that it is not only linked from the news front page, but is under the "Other top stories" heading.
READ THIS Don't run any commands without understanding what they do, unless they are from a reliable source and have been confirmed by other experts. Serious damage can result from following malicious "advice".
Sorry too many tabs open
from the link:
hmm, the chairs will be flying at redmond!He said the French police force was currently deploying 50,000 Ubuntu-powered machines, while Spanish education authorities were rolling out 500,000 desktops with the OS.

Ubuntu just got millions of dollars worth of free advertisement. Sometimes the news can be "good".

Educate men without Linux, then yeah, the opposite happens

Mark Shuttleworth is a space tourist...? LOL.
But really, that's good news - awareness never hurt .
Now thats good news..."Mr Shuttleworth said he believed there were about eight to nine million users of Ubuntu worldwide."

*SIGH*
I would have liked him to say that it's a competing OS. It does everything that Windows can do with the added advantge of almost zero virues (never sure about that) malware etc. It seems to come across as a "web OS""If people think of computing as going to a PC, sitting down and starting Word, then the traditional view, of using Windows and Office, will persist.
"But if people think of their daily experience as a sit down on the web, we know that people can have a very compelling experience on Linux.
"In fact, we know it is a better web experience because they can do it without spyware, without viruses."
Nice follow up article as well
