Then why not partner with someone who is already
trying to do something like this. There are still a
few companies out there looking to make a name for
themselves... a partnership with Mandrake could be the
best of both worlds... as Mandrake can use its
strength of developing the software and its loyal user
base and the other company could extend its hardware
and bandwidth. There is a serious need for this and I
think a ripe market for it... and I also think it
could be the link to help make transition to Linux
easier... esp if calender, addresses, etc could be
easily synced between Outlook, kde/gnome, and a secure
3rd party web platform....
