We coiuld be charitable, and call 2005 a year of transition.

I've seen the reputation of Linux rise in a number of circles. Not that
anything extraordrinary is happening. A wider cirecle of people is accepting 
Linux and stuff that run on Linux as another legitimate part of the toolbox.
This is an unspectacular but nessesary step; it has to be another tool before 
it can really be seen as valuable by the more risk-averse.
