I don't have any respect for Darl McBride. He took a company, rather reputable in the Linux and Unix world, and destroyed it. Not only that, but his previous history has shown that he does not know how to run a company. I would, however, like to know what he is doing now, post-SCO, and if his hatred for IBM and the Linux kernel is still strong, or if he's doesn't care, now that he doesn't have the slightest path to the Unix rights. On the flip, he brought thousands upon thousands of GNU, BSD, Linux and others together, and brought these operating system more to the spotlight than they had ever reached previously. Should we thank him or hate him? A forum with him might answer that question. A forum with RMS, however, wouldn't be much interest to me. Nor ESR. John "maddog" Hall, maybe. Bruce Perens, maybe. Linus Torvalds, definitely. Alan Cox, for sure. Stormy Peters, Mark Shuttleworth, Jim Whitehurst, and more. I, personally, like discussion forums. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O .
