LinuxWorld: Business, Business and More Business

Clarkson University wins a server from IBM. Sun is bringing embedded Linux to its UltraSparc IIe processors. Wired has an overview of LinuxWorld, talking about how it's all business and the joy is gone; and so does Internet.com; and so does Newsforge, which also has a story about LinuxWorld in Paris. The Register has a lengthy interview with Miguel de Icaza, in which he notes "Gnome 4.0 should be based on .NET".

KDE declared the winner due to Gnome scandal.

"I'd like to see Gnome applications written in .NET in version 4.0 - no, version 3.0. But Gnome 4.0 should be based on .NET," he told us. "A lot of people just see .NET as a fantastic upgrade for the development platform from Microsoft.

If this was US politics, a candidate has just stated he supports a communistic form of governement and cant wait till he gets it installed.

Interesting concept though, using .NET. But it will be a cold day in hell before Billy and the boys would do anything (even for profit) for an open source project that uses the GNU licence for many of its parts.

Vote: Miguel de Icaza for Troll of the Week

Thought: maybe Miguel was just getting bored at LinuxWorld and decided to throw out this little hand granade into the crowd to liven things up a bit? He definitely has my vote for Troll of the Week!

Come on spaceman, you use linux, you should be able to write your own.

Actually, I use a tweaked-out Commodore 64 for basic web browsing and email purposes. The rest of my time is spent improving Knuth's algorithms with pencil and paper methods in order to achieve a better run-time.
