OK, I can't resist this whole SCO thing, since it has again raised its ugly head. My previous post (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry4658.html) on the subject the other day drew a lot of attention...

Here is the link, please contact the AP writer and let them know that their facts aren't straight.

Um, well, apparently the AP thinks he is the CEO when last they spoke yesterday...it is perhaps they who should get their facts straight.

I wonder if Darl knows he isn't the CEO any more?

It's actually a reversal of an earlier decision...

Groklaw linked to my story.

Just when you thought it was safe to return to those keyboards knowing that all is well with the world and the ownership of Unix is happy with its rightful owner, Novell; he's baaaack. I'm sure that...

I'm sure there would be a few who would bail but...for the most part I think it would be a welcomed transition. Can you imagine having RHEL and Microsoft supported by the same company? It would be...

I think I did look at one on sourceforge.net but it didn't fit what I needed/wanted. I'll take another look.

Linux distributions could use a boost in a few different areas, specifically these five: Virtualization, Graphics, Games, Point-of-Sale and Education. Some significant progress has been made in the...

How about a Linogogue?

It's easier to criticize than to create. I guess that's why God has so many critics. ;-)

New members: Don't forget to Gentoo-flect when in the presence of a Linux host.

Also, if you want to keep Losher, you're allowed to eat Nachos, Hamburgers, Chinese food and drink Diet Dr. Pepper....

Soooo, you're saying that Steve Ballmer asked me to write this? I haven't gone that far to the dark side.

If I hadn't already known--or at least had some idea of the religious zeal I was about to face, I would have been more shocked at the response to my 2009's 10 Worst Linux Distributions...

Prejudices and opinions aside, at some point in your career you'll be asked to select a viable Linux distribution for your corporate network. How will you choose? Will you use the same distribution...

I've been in discussions with a group of other writers, Linux distribution watchers, Linux community leaders and developers in the past few days concerning Linux commercial vs. Linux community...

@r_a_trip

You're right but you took a direct quote from that conversation to analyze. I didn't say those words; they were said to me. Interesting, huh?

I do jest. This post was divinely inspired from an email conversation I had with a major Linux vendor's community manager. Some of the info here is directly lifted from that conversation. True but...

Today, I'm announcing my new Linux company, HookLineNSinker, Inc. (HLNS) which will produce a new commercial Linux distribution: Pricey Linux. HLNS products include Pricey Linux Enterprise, Pricey...

Really? Maybe it's our school system. We have to buy our own computers in Oklahoma. Our PTA raises money every year to buy more computers for the school. They are all Dell with Windows XP--so far...

As I've written before (here (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2335.html) and here (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry4177.html)), the Linux desktop in danger of extinction. If operating systems...

You can have AD on Linux.

Actually, Red Hat is doing pretty well in spite of the CEO: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090325/ap_on_bi_ge/earns_red_hat;_ylt=AkaeW05_59E21OhNT5t7b16or7oF

I don't think it's due to anything he's...

Almost a year has passed since I wrote, Novell CEO Disses Embrace of Desktop Linux (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2329.html) where I told you how Ron Hovsepian, Novell CEO, totally slammed Linux...

Well, well, how about that Dell (http://www.dell.com)? In a landmark decision, Dell announced (http://www.itwire.com/content/view/23052/1231/) that it has penned a deal to use Novell...

What other platforms would you port it to?

As you say, "in the past."

NetBSD isn't really in the running for any corporate services. I'm speaking strictly of the viable OSs: OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX.

What's more stable than a rock, faster than a spinning disk, more powerful than a Windows system twice its size, and able to leap platforms like no other operating system? Surprise! It's Linux.

Thanks Yoramn! It sounds cool, I'll check it out. I may even review it.

PCLinuxOS is pretty neat but when I installed it last time, there were a lot of apps, including Konsole that wouldn't open so I had to leave it out. I did a review of it in Linux + Magazine...

There are three Linux distributions that didn't make it into my top 10 list (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3322.html) of best Linux distributions but they are ones to watch. These three...

Yes, there is a huge Linux customer base. Not home users, mind you: Corporate ones. Neither Microsoft nor Novell have any real use for home users in the Linux space. Novell's CEO was quoted not long...

One has to wonder what's going on in the world between Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com) and Novell (http://www.novell.com). They signed a deal in 2006 worth over $300 million so that Novell could...

A new deal struck between Microsoft and its Linux ally Novell (SuSE Linux) is headed for mainland China. Microsoft claims now that Linux violates 42 of its patents (down from over 200 a year ago) and...

When he took the reins almost two years ago, new Novell President and CEO Ronald Hovsepian, was going to lead the charge in driving the Linux acceptance and conversion. Recently he said that the...
