Hello all.
I read the article at http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19980402S0013
where Dreessen apparently remarks that he envisions Netscape (Mozilla)
and Linux fused for life. He suggests that Mozilla could become the
"GUI that runs on top of Linux," as the article says.
Is it just me, or does this sound like Windows 98 and MS Explorer? Is
Netscape trying to gain a controlling arm in the Freeware world?
If mozilla is trying to move into the direction of being just another
windows manager, then I have no problem. But I don't want a "browser
UI"
as a permanent installation in my Linux box.
I bring this up to this list because the Freeware Summit is being held
shortly, and this sounds like a big general issue to discuss--
Independence
of each individual Free software product from other products, so that
each component may evolve on its own. Will Redhat (as a primary Linux
vendor/distributor) be present, and what is Redhat's position on the
above (possible) issue?
Cheers,
lane
