    woah... better warn Google about this open source thing, before it's too late. And those redhat guys before this hobbyist thing spells the death of them. How could they not know how "virtually impossible" it is to make money off open source?

    Hmmmm...

    Cipher,

    When was the last time you looked at the financial information coming out of Red Hat, Novell, IBM, Oracle, HP or Dell? They may disagree with your views.

    Dell recently purchased a stake in Red Hat. Does Michael Dell know something that you don't?

    Has the world gone mad?

    First it's Intel inside Macs, now a Penguin peers outside the Window.

    What's next? Linux OS for the XBOX?

    the gentoo faithfuls are going to 'emerge sync' about once a week, and life goes on.
    all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins - Bertrand Russell
