This is interesting. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030804/sfm098_1.html This is interesting. Novell has been making a lot of noise about Linux lately and how it intends to support it. In that respect it's probably good news. Strictly on the PR side the fact that the former owner of SCO Unix is building it's Linux committment is a lovely shot at SCO/Caldera. One would expect that Novell has roughly the same access to the source code that SCO is whining about and has concluded that there isn't a problem. It's all very interesting. :-) ttfn John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Now Novell. There have been some others not as big or as much in the public's eye. Each had/has a hand in what SCO has been bitching about. This is what we need. One by one, big hitters to step out of the cowling crowds and telling SCO in a business like way they aren't backing down, they're actually pushing harder. SCO (and M$) can only benefit from this if everyone cowers and falls back. I have a lot of respect for these companies for publically stating they are going to continue and/or intensify their interest in Linux. It doesn't matter to me that there's an underlining agenda for each. In the long run, we all benefit if SCO has to back down because no one's listening and no one cares about their perceived propriety. T Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
