I think there is some chance that the possibility may exist that you are
nearly correct, but I can't cite my sources due to an NDA.
Do they quote the rumor that Linus has pictures of fighting bare-footed

RBC has sold 2/3 of it's stake to BayStar and ask for conversion to
common stock (at a more than 50% loss given today's price) for the rest.
There are all kinds of speculation on what this means on the Yahoo SCOX

Just keeping the list in the know, for those who care about the SCO
situation.BayStar has hit SCO with a demand to redeem their 20K
A-1 shares. That's 20M+ being demanded out of SCO. Looks like SCO is
at the knee of their catastrophe curve to me.

I've been using a Linux desktop five years. Office/excel etc are no

You'll probably be better off doing it yourself. Make sure the
hardware is supported under linux (stay away from centrino chipsets
until the drivers are out and tested). Have heard good things about

The SCO-v-IBM thing seems to be coming up to the endgame now, but
