They say death and taxes are the only two things that can be counted on in this life, and for those of us in the United States, last Monday delivered them both in most miserable fashion. April 15 was not only the day U.S. taxes were due, but also the day two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon. The magnitude of that tragedy is far beyond the scope of this column, of course, but Monday also brought a casualty — albeit on a much smaller scale — to those of us here in the Linux world. It wasn’t a human death, fortunately.
