Probably because Linux is one of the most popular alternative
operating systems, and the most "News" on the net on other OS's
is about Linux.  Or perhaps that he (like most other alternative
OS users) reads Linux news exclusively, or at least more often
than other news of other OS's.

Perhaps, Linux interests him, and no other OS's do.

Personally, I read mostly Linux related sites, but even they are
not Linux biased, and sometimes contain news of FreeBSD, BeoS,
and other OS's.

Since I read Slashdot, LWN, Freshmeat, 32bitsonline, and some
others, I find most of their stories concern Linux.  Also, it is
these stories that most interest me.  When I share information
that I've read somewhere, it is most likely going to be the
information that most interests me.  I suspect everybody works
that way.

If someone else finds some interesting tidbit about another
alternative OS, I'm sure everyone will find it as interesting as
any article of Linux.

Slashdot, or some other ezine had an article in the last few days
on free demo CD's of BeoS for example.  Sounds interesting to me.
