Oracle hasn't done bad in the past few years on Linux. Their contributions to the kernel have been pretty active. I'm more concerned on the vast patent portfolio Sun has. Hopefully they do not see anything capitalistic out of it and open it up ;-). But how much of the patent portfolio does matter in this kinda acquisition ? regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090
